California Democrat Jane Harman responded to Republican assertions that by merely extending the law, Democrats would be placing Americans at risk by depriving the intelligence community of crucial anti-terrorist tools. "This debate is not, as some on the other side want to characterize it, of Democrats wanting to coddle terrorists. We emphatically do not. We want to capture or kill them. It is beyond cynical to suggest otherwise."
Congressman Lamar Smith was among Republicans making the allegation. "Another extensnion represents a failure by the House Democratic majority to protect the American people. The Senate understands this. The intelligence community needs a long-term bill to fix gaps in our intelligence law, not a 21 day extension."
Earlier, President Bush challenged House Democrats to debate and approve the Senate-passed bill, saying the security of Americans is at stake. After a meeting with the president, House and Senate Republican leaders urged House Democrats to bring the Senate legislation to a vote.
Mitch McConnell is the Senate minority leader. "The president is fully aware that there is a bipartisan majority in the House to pass the Senate bill. "

共和党人称民主党仅仅要求延长法律截止日期的方式将会使得情报机关失去有效的反恐武器而最终使美国人民处于危险之中。对此言论，加州民主党人士简·哈尔曼作出如下回应："这个辩论并不是另一方想象的样子，民主党想纵容恐怖主义者。我们绝不会如此。我们想逮捕或处死他们。这是理智的建议”
众议院议员拉马.史密斯是提出声明的共和党成员之一。“众议院中大多数民主党人期望的有效期再次延长却代表了他们（试图）保护美国人民的尝试的失败。参议院了解这点。情报机构需要一个长期法案以弥补我们在情报发上的缺陷，而不仅是21天的延期。”
布什总统在早些时候要求众议院民主党讨论并批准参议院通过的法案，总统说美国的安全正处在关键时期。在与总统会面后，众议院和参议院的共和党领导人督促众议院民主党人士，希望他们对参议院的法案进行投票。

[参考答案]
“We know what we need to do and now is the time to step up and do it in order to protect the American people."
Late Wednesday House majority leader Steny Hoyer asserted to reporters that even if the foreign intelligence surveillance law expires, Americans will not be in danger and the intelligence community will be able to continue intercepting communications of suspected terrorists.
Expressing disappointment with the vote, Hoyer does not expect Democrats will attempt another short-term extension, although he wouldn't rule this out, saying Democrats will use coming weeks to work on a bipartisan bill acceptable to President Bush. "In the event that the Protect America Act is not extended, we nevertheless intend to use the next 21 days for the same purposes, that is to try to see if we can reach agreement between the House and the Senate, on a bill that would enjoy broad support in the House and the Senate.”
At the same time, Hoyer renewed allegations that Senate Republicans in his words has "slow walked" progress of the legislation in that chamber, to put the House in the position of having no alternative but to accept the unacceptable provisions.

“我们知道我们需要做什么，而现在是为了保护美国人民而加快行动的时候。”
星期三晚些时候，众议院多数派领导人坦利·霍耶对记者宣称即使涉外情报监督法过期，情报机构仍有能力继续对被怀疑的恐怖分子的通讯进行截击，美国人仍将远离危险之外。
霍耶表达了他对投票结果的失望，霍耶称民主党将在最近的一周内致力于建立一个布什总统所接受的两党法案，虽然他不希望民主党再次试图将法案短期延期，但并不能将此排除在外。“在这个事件中保护美国法案已经无法延长，不过，为了试图了解是否可以在众议院和参议院之间达成一致这个相同的目的，我们打算利用随后的21天，制定一个法案可以在两院获得广泛的支持。”
与此同时，霍耶更改了他的主张，他说参议院的共和党人士，用他的话说，在参议院内“减缓”或推迟了立法过程。从而使众议院除了接受不愿接受的预备提案以外别无选择。

Hoyer表达了对此次选举的失望,并称尽管他无权处理此事,却不希望民主党尝试再一次申请延长期限.他说民主党应抓紧时间制定一个可以接受的双边法案呈交总统过目."在本次事件中,保护美国法案没有延长,但我们愿意用剩余的21天为同一个目标而努力,即试图在参众两院间达成一个双方都能接受的协议."
同时,Hoyer称用他的话来说,参议院的共和党减慢了立法进程,这使众议院除了接受提案变得毫无选择可言.
