Mr. Speaker, section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act is a unique and critical tool that enables our intelligence community to gather vital intelligence, protect our national security, and safeguard Americans from terrorist attacks.

If this authority expires, we will substantially degrade US national security and our intelligence officers ability to identify foreign threats in real time. (00:18–00:26)
