== Biography == | |||
Archer's first major success as vice president was the [[Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act]], approved by Congress on March 30, 3307, which he drafted and sponsored. Archer's ties to the FIA allowed him to make rapid progress with Federal security services in implementing the law, which resulted in the creation of the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]] on April 6. Despite controversy over the PDB directly instigating the [[Federal Rebellion of 3307]], Archer's support for it did not waver. He countered criticism by arguing that strengthening the Federal government's surveillance powers had demonstrably increased security and reduced crimes throughout Federal space, and also led to the arrest of extremist groups such as [[Jupiter's Wrath]]. | Archer's first major success as vice president was the [[Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act]], approved by Congress on March 30, 3307, which he drafted and sponsored.
