. the clerk: ms. sinema, no. the clerk: mr. heinrich, no. vote: the presiding officer: on this vote the yeas are 11, the nays
11:01 pm
are # 2. under the previous order requiring 60 votes for the adoption of this amendment, the amendment is not agreed to. there will be two minutes for debate equally divided on the durbin amendment 1841 as modified. mr. durbin: mr. president. the presiding officer: order in the senate, please. the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: i call up 1841 as modified. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: the senator from illinois mr. durbin proposes an amendment numbered 1841 as modified. the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: throughout our history and certainly since 9/11 we've been focused on a challenge. can we keep america safe and still honor our constitution? i've been engaged in this debate for quite a few years and i continue with it this evening. over the course of our history we've seen section 702 misused by our government.
11:02 pm
3.4 million american conversations were monitored one year, another 200,000. this modification i'm suggesting, suggested by the privacy and civil liberties oversight board will mean that the agency would have to report for warrants 80 cases a month. that is not too much when we're dealing with hundreds of thousands of targets and millions of conversations. yes, we can protect the constitutional bill of rights and keep our country safe, but we've got to be mindful and this requires vigilance. i yield the floor a senator:. mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from texas. mr. cornyn: mr. president, it is illegal for the united states government or any of its agencies to spy on american citizens. it is illegal, and nothing in this bill changes that. the fact is the house has passed a reform bill which has made it
11:03 pm
far less likely for there to be abuses inadvertent and otherwise, and it has real accountability measures that will punish people who abuse these necessary tools. the fact of the matter is 702 applies to foreigners overseas, not americans here in the united states. and whether it's incidental collection, court after court after court has said that it does not violate the fourth amendment. there is no constitutional violation. and if the intelligence agencies want to look further at an american citizen, they have to go to the foreign intelligence surveillance court and get a warrant, show probable cause that a crime has been committed. the presiding officer: all time has expired. mr. cornyn: if we pass this requirement it will benefit our foreign adversaries -- russia, china, iran, hamas, to name a fuchlt

the clerk: mr. cramer, aye. the presiding officer: on this vote, the yeas are 42, the nays are 50, the amendment is not agreed to. there will be two minutes of debate equally divided on the lee amendment numbered 1840. can we have order in the senate,
11:21 pm
please? order in the chamber, please. please taek your conversations -- take your conversations off the floor. the senator from utah. mr. lee: i call up my amendment 1840 and ask it be reported. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: mr. lee proposes an amendment numbered 181 -- 1840. the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. lee: mr. president, in 202077 members of this body voted for this amendment and i would love to see this same result today. according to the i.g. report following the crossfire hurricane investigation, there were a lot of -- the presiding officer: take your conversations off the floor, please. the senator from utah. mr. lee: who have made substantial misrepresentations to the fisa court. it's one of the things that can happen in a nonadversarial kroom
11:22 pm
set -- courtroom setting, that's why this amendment does two things. first, it beefs up the ability to have amicus curiae representation so there's an extra set of ayes, not individual lawyers representing any single one person, an extra set of eyes there to defend individual americans, about 50,000 of whom are kwuryed without -- queried without a warrant. the second thing it does is requires the disclosure to the court of all the material of impeachment evidence, what we call brady evidence. this is not too much. we should be able to support this as 77 of us did in 2020. the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. rubio: mr. president, there's some validity, there is more we can do to fix this.
11:23 pm
in crossfire hurricane, the fbi directors lied to the court and included a dossier that included research. the function of this would be on the other hand, this is a real application, there was a spy working for us an ambassador now he would have some advocate arguing on his behalf in the court someone who doesn't have to have an intelligence background and may have to provide that advocate intelligence information as exculpatory. this, as drafted, is problematic in the context of what we're trying to fix here, especially in light of the reforms. wa mr. warner: if we can pass the bill before midnight, i commit to work with all to continue to
11:24 pm
review the amicus proceeds. i urge that the amendment is rejected. the presiding officer: all time is expired. the question is on the amendment. the yeas and nays have been called for. is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll. vote: the clerk: ms. baldwin. mr. barrasso. mr. bennet. mrs. blackburn. mr. blumenthal. mr. booker. mr. boozman. mr. braun. mrs. britt. mr. brown. mr. budd.

the presiding officer: on this vote the yeas are 40. the nays are 53. the amendment is not agreed to. under the previous order, the bill is considered read a third time and there will now be up to two minutes of debate equally divided. mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, in the nick of time, bipartisanship has prevailed here in the senate. we are reauthorizing fisa right before it expires at midnight, 20 minutes before midnight. as the time is now. this bill now goes to the president's desk. all day long we persisted and persisted and persisted in trying to reach a breakthrough. and in the end we have succeeded
11:44 pm
and we're getting fisa done. democrats and republicans came together and did the right thing for our country's safety. it wasn't easy. people had many different views but we all know one thing. letting fisa expire would be dangerous. it's an important part of our national security to stop acts of terror, drug trafficking, and violent extremism. thank you to all my senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their good work in getting this done. now, for the information of the senate, after this vote, we will have no further votes this evening. we are working on an agreement for consideration of the supplemental. without an agreement, we will vote on laying down the supplemental as soon as we receive it from the house tomorrow. but we're working on the agreement now. mark warner has done a great job here as chairman of the intelligence committee and i yield to him for 30 seconds.
11:45 pm
mr. warner: i thank senator schumer. i know these issues are tough. we appreciate all of the members of the intelligence committee, particularly senator rubio, where there are areas that still need improvement, we commit to work with you to make this incredibly important tool more efficiently and effectively overseeing as well. i urge the adoption of the bill. the presiding officer: is there further debate? the question occurs on passage of the bill. the clerk will call the roll. the yeas and nays have been requested. is there sufficient second? there is. the clerk will call the roll. the clerk: ms. baldwin.

authorizes the largest expansion of surveillance on u.s. domestic soil since the passage of the patriot act. agree just the fourth amendment violations against u.s. citizens will increase dramatically if this bill is passed into law as it stands now. fortunately there is one thing standing between that bill becoming a law between where that bill stands and aware that
12:43 am
bill could be soon if we enacted without an amendment that the united states senator under article one section seven the same bill has to pass in both houses before it can be presented to the president for signature, veto or acquiescence. as amended by the turner amendment would allow the government to compel a huge range of ordinary u.s. businesses and individuals and other organizations exempting an odd assortment of entities including hotels, libraries, and restaurants to assist the united states government's been spying on american citizens. currently the government conducts prizes 702 conveyance with the compelled assistance of what are known as electronic communication service providers. historically the definition of such an entity included those
12:44 am
entities with direct access to y american's communications. think for example google. 60 vo passage of this bill, the bill is passed. the majority leader. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent that the senior senator from virginia be authorized to sign duly enrolled bills or joint resolutions from april 20, 2024 through april 21, 2024. the presiding officer: woep -- without objection. mr. schumer: i move to proceed to h.r. 3935. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: an act to amend title 49, united states code to reauthorize and improve the federal aviation administration and other civil aviation programs and for other purposes. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent the committee on the

>> i explained on the senate floor yesterday the house reauthorization bill has a lot of problems.
12:55 am
more problems than a math book. not only are the bills but reported reforms mostly fake. whether they are not fake they're woefully inadequate. but the bill it self expands fisa. it expands pfizer's surveillance beyond or it has existed in the past. in fact, recent authorizes the largest expansion of surveillance on u.s. domestic soil since the passage of the patriot act. agree just the fourth amendment violations against u.s. citizens will increase dramatically if this bill is passed into law as it stands now. fortunately there is one thing standing between that bill becoming law.
12:56 am
in between where that bill stands now and where the bill could be soon if we enacted without an amendment and that is the united states senate. under article one section seven the same bill passes both before commute presented to the president for signature, veto or acquiescence. as amended by the turner amendment would allow the government to compel a huge range of ordinary u.s. businesses and individuals and other exempting only an odd assortment of entities including hotels, libraries, and restaurants. to assist the united states government and spying on american citizens. currently the government conducts pfizer 702 surveillance with what's out as electronic communication service providers. historically the definition of
12:57 am
such an ecs p is included those entities have direct access to americans communications for think for example google or microsoft, verizon et cetera. this supervision would allow the government to compel warrantless surveillance assistance from any provider of any service that is access to equipment on which communications are routed and then stored. this would include a huge number of u.s. businesses that provide wi-fi to their customers. have access to routers and two o communication equipment. apparently this provision is a result of the intelligence community's ire the foreign intelligence surveillance act court that data centers for cloud computing do not under existing law have to comply with isaac compel disclosures.
12:58 am
intelligence committee members claim it was a narrow fix allowed the government to compel information from a single service provider. just one. yesterday right on the senate floor my friend and colleague distinguished senior senator from the state of virginia the oversight committee spoke about now infamous turner amendment. first and foremost senator warner admitted in that context even he thanks the amendment could be better drafted. this is of course putting it very mildly and euphemistically. instead of voting on correcting that language, language that can have drastic implications for the privacy and the fourth amendment rights of american citizens in grave implications for all kinds of businesses and other organizations.
12:59 am
he would rather pass the ball to the broadest can be language passed by the house and rely on promises and the intel agencies they will not abuse this new expansion of their authority. how does that sound to you as an american citizen? any within the sound of my voice do you really feel good about agreeing to that you hear from our intelligence gathering the bodies you can trust us. this language is a broad enought has loopholes in it you could drive a mack truck a 747 through the loopholes side-by-side. but trust us we won't treated that way. is that a good idea? i think it not the entire premise of the constitution not just the fourth amount of the ae constitution itself is trust but verify. we are not angels we don't have access to angels to run our
1:00 am
government salute rely on rules we do not rely on placing faith in government. faith is deserved for different beings those occupying the halls they sits government. whether intelligence agencies or otherwise. as a federal lawmaker who has been lied to repeatedly throughout the years by various elements within our government including some people from the department of justice, the fbi on the abuse of the authorities for these very same authorities we are talking about here. forgive me if i'm not just willing to take the word of the intelligence community. we have a responsibility to our constituents of every stripe and every part of this country. again the language rights. getting it right before it comes on not after.
1:01 am
who are more likely who could support that could do is try to help them cover it up for that is not right. second my esteemed colleague has been entirely confused he like the department of justice i would like to confuse you extension of authority actually means. what it does. they are suggested we are offended merely because it would allow them to target more individuals. that is not the problem. not at all the problem is this amendment is so broadly worded and could subject any kind of service provider. even when providing services such as cleaning services or plumbing services to participate in the secret compelled disclosure process in which
1:02 am
section 702 of pfizer relies. we are not concerned with new targets resulting from this legislation as they seem to be suggesting quite mistakenly. rather the government conscripting any kind of service providers into its compelled disclosure scheme. if d.o.j. was to override the decision of the fisc through an amendment it must be done through an amendment tailored to precisely that task. unfortunately turner amendment is about as well tailored as a memo. or better set a tent.
