SUMMARY OF THE HOUSE AMENDMENT TO THE SENATE AMENDMENT TO H.R. 3773 The Amendment provides for flexible surveillance of terrorists and other targets overseas who may be communicating with Americans. Under the Amendment, surveillance programs can begin following court approval of procedures to ensure that Americans are not targeted and that intercepted communications are handled properly. It requires a court order based on probable cause in order to conduct surveillance against Americans at home and overseas. The Amendment provides for oversight by the Court, the Congress, and the independent Inspectors General, and confirms that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act remains the exclusive means of conducting foreign intelligence surveillance. The Amendment provides prospective liability protection for telecommunications companies that provide lawful assistance to the government. It addresses past activities under the President's Terrorist Surveillance Program by freeing telephone companies to argue existing defenses before the court in pending lawsuits, notwithstanding the Government's assertion of the state secrets doctrine. Finally, the Amendment establishes a bipartisan commission--with subpoena power--to investigate and report to the American people on the Administration's warrantless surveillance activities.
