Well, no. I don't recall exactly what he said, but the form said PATRIOT ACT in bold letters on the top, and he said it was a new form. Why?

I'm wondering who your bank is ...
In response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the US Congress passed the USA PATRIOT Act. Parts of this Act apply to the financial services industry and require certain financial institutions to request specific information from foreign banks on a "certification" form.
This site focuses on that portion of the legislation requiring bank certifications and is designed to address many questions you, our clients, may have.

the form said PATRIOT ACT in bold letters on the topSounds like a form the financial institution put together itself - none of the forms actually required are worded that way here:
