Congress passed a bill Wednesday to crack down on methampthetamine
manufacturers.

US Representative John Peterson says the legislation is part of the Combat
Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005, that's enveloped in the Patriot Act.

The goal of the legislation is to cinch up on the supply of meth-making
materials, but it raises privacy concerns.

Peterson, who is instrumental in the wording of the at says the legislation
would restrict and record the sale of pseudoephedrine.

Peterson says by watching the cold medication in the store, it will make it
more difficult for mom and pop meth cooks to obtain the product.
