Bush signs one-month extension of Patriot Act
CRAWFORD, Texas - US President George W. Bush signed a one-month extension of the Patriot Act on Friday, but remains committed to a permanent renewal of the disputed anti-terrorist legislation, his spokesman said.

Bush, who is spending the Christmas holiday period at his vacation ranch in Crawford, Texas, signed the extension up to February 3 while approving a number of other bills submitted by Congress.

However, the president “is not satisfied with the one-month extension,” said deputy White House spokesman Trent Duffy. “He wants to have the Patriot Act permanently re-authorized,” Duffy added. “It is a vital tool for protecting the American people.”
