hank johnson of georgia. mr. johnson: i thank the member and rise in support of re-authorization of section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act which first was passed by congress in 2008. it codified what had been a secret and was a warrantless collection of phone, email and other communications of non-u.s. persons located outside of the united states in response to the deadly 9/11 attack that killed thousands of americans. as they plapped that deadly attack, al qaeda plotters used u.s. communication facilities and american foreign intelligence picked up the chatter but the stove pipe that kept this intel from domestic law enforcement created the situation where domestic law enforcement could not protect us from the threat because they did not know of the plot before it happened. if section 702 had been in place prior to 911, the f.b.i. could have been able to prevent the attack. and allowing section 702 to expire would expose americans to grave danger like the horrific massacre of israeli jews on oc
