"President Bush pressed the U.S. Congress on Monday to renew the anti-terrorism law as he officially welcomed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who was confirmed despite accusations he sanctioned torture of terrorism suspects.

Speaking at a Justice Department ceremony, Bush said the Patriot Act had been "vital to our success in tracking terrorists and disrupting their plans" and he urged lawmakers to renew elements of the law that will expire at the end of this year.

"We must not allow the passage of time or the illusion of safety to weaken our resolve in this new war," Bush said. "
