In conclusion, as we look at this debate and this bill, which is about spying on foreigners abroad, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Chinese Communist Party, giving them constitutional protections is unprecedented. There is no court that has ever…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will be postponed. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Cline The Acting CHAIR. It is now in…

I claim the time in opposition because the National Security Agency stopped ``abouts'' collection in 2017 because it was fraught with peril. This amendment is not necessary because the intelligence community is not doing this and hasn't…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Add at the end the following new section: SEC. __. DEFINITION OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION SERVICE PROVIDER…

There is a SCIF off of the House floor to provide additional information to Members that I am not able to present here. This amendment is to correct a technical issue that was found by the FISA court with respect to critical intelligence…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5 minutes.

I will close my time by saying, Mr. Chairman, every time you expand FISA, you underscore the need for a warrant. The bigger and bigger this database gets and the more that U.S. persons are going to be searched, you underscore the need for…

Now they want to expand it. This is the second amendment in a row where they are going to expand FISA. We can't have a warrant for the existing program, this giant haystack of information. You can't have a warrant when you go search…

I thank the gentleman for yielding me time. Mr. Chair, I would just point out that my good friend from Ohio says that we are searching foreigners in this database. Well, if we are just searching foreigners, why do we have this distinction…

Before yielding to my good friend, I just want to underscore what the gentlewoman from Washington just described. The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, created by the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, says that our amendment is…

Freedom surrendered is rarely reclaimed. Today, we have an opportunity to make progress. After 9/11, the PATRIOT Act passed. One Senator voted ``no.'' Sixty-three Members of the House of Representatives voted ``no.'' Both parties failed…

I certainly am a supporter of this underlying bill. This is a bipartisan product. It came out of the Intelligence Committee, and it came out of the Intelligence Committee when we realized a few years ago all the abuses that were taking…

I want to just say what is true and what is not true. A query does not investigate a U.S. citizen. In many cases, it is acting on behalf of a U.S. citizen to keep them safe.

Considering the visit this week from His Excellency Kishida Fumio, Prime Minister of Japan, I rise to thank both him and his country's commitment to our deepening alliance of liberty. I also rise to discuss where I believe there is room…

I now turn to another very essential topic and I mention that the majority party, the Republican Party, is long overdue in bringing to this floor the national security supplemental bill that includes support for Ukraine. Let me be clear…

This past weekend, Cleveland, Ohio, hosted the NCAA women's basketball Final Four. Americans and people around the globe were focused on the impressive talents of Caitlin Clark. As Iowa Hawkeyes matched up with defending champions LSU and…

This is about the First Amendment, and a free press is essential to having a robust First Amendment and free debate in our culture.
