Pelosi Statement on Extension of FISA Bill
Washington, D.C. -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the
following statement today after the House voted to extend by 15 days the
Protect America Act:
"Congress must update the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by passing a bill that protects both our national security and our civil liberties. The House has already passed such a bill, the RESTORE Act, which provides flexible surveillance tools for the intelligence community while protecting the constitutional rights of Americans, and I hope the Senate will now follow suit."
