I would tell my good friend from North Carolina that the bill we reported out of our committee provides a mechanism for the Government to compel a provider to comply with a directive. If the court finds that the directive was issued properly and is lawful, it must order the provider to comply with the directive and that provider is provided immunity for doing so. But a failure to comply by a company could result in a contempt of court. Both the Government and the provider may appeal any decision to the FISC Court of review and ultimately the Supreme Court. I thank my colleague for his service on the committee and for his very helpful questions.
