	Tax Analysts: Technical Assistance:
		The sunset provision opens up a new arena for debate among conservatives who are eager to make the provisions permanent and liberals who would prefer to postpone phasing in the provisions to pay for other government programs.
		Democrats have argued that the sunset provision masks the true cost of the bill because the revenue loss accounts for only nine years of the budget window and less than one year of the bill's full effect, including repeal of the estate tax.
		Other analysts agreed that the outcome of the expiring tax provisions is too uncertain to predict, because it depends largely on the state of the economy, future surplus estimates, and budget priorities at the time of change.

	Reason
		The sunset provision was vital to selling the bill, because it wasn't overwhelmingly beloved to begin with.
		Mooney grants, though, that the existence of the sunset provisions has the salutary effect of making the executive branch more solicitous of congressional inquiries about the Act, since it can't be blithely considered a fair accompli.
		Thus, sunsetting should be cheered, and encouraged as a feature for more future legislative restrictions on our liberty, because it makes it easier for legislators to do the right thing—by doing nothing.

		Chief among these was Section 224, the so-called “sunset” provision, which provided that many of the new surveillance authorities would expire on December 31, 2005, unless renewed or re-enacted by Congress.
		The purpose of the sunset provision was to emphasize that the new authorities were temporary, enacted quickly in response to a national emergency, and by their nature highly prone to potential abuse.
		Congress should resist attempts to repeal that provision and should decline to extend or expand any other provisions of the Act unless and until it has conducted sufficient oversight to determine that the measures currently in effect have been implemented effectively and responsibly and that their extension is warranted.
