CDT Urges Support for Compromise FISA Bill

CDT URGES SUPPORT FOR COMPROMISE FISA BILL
[SOURCE: Center for Democracy & Technology]
Calling the legislation a "responsible compromise," the Center for Democracy & Technology urged members of Congress to support a House leadership bill amending the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The House is expected to vote this week on the legislation, which represents a compromise between competing House and Senate bills. In a letter to members of the House, CDT explained how the bill provides flexibility to intelligence agencies conducting surveillance and at the same time includes key checks and balances to protect civil liberties.
