The call is scheduled for 6:40 PM PT on Wednesday, October 28th. To participate, call 877-229-8493 and enter the PIN 13157 when prompted.

MATCH Act editorial in the Pasadena Star-News
Posted by: Adam Schiff (09-22-2009, 11:50 AM)
The Pasadena Star-News published an excellent editorial making the case for the Managing Arson Through Criminal History (MATCH) Act. The MATCH Act is legislation I introduced to create a national registry of arsonists to help investigators track down criminals. As the Star-News says, part of the impetus for this legislation was an experience I had as a federal prosecutor. There was an offender commiting serial arson in national forests, and it was only once we caught him that we realized that he had a past conviction for the same behavior. With the MATCH Act, there would have been a database, available only to law enforcement, and I believe we would have caught him more quickly and before he caused as much damage as he did.
