Ron Wyden said "Mr. President, this bipartisan amendment strikes a dangerous provision that was slipped in at the last moment in the House of Representatives and has never been considered or examined here in the Senate. The provision dramatically expands warrantless surveillance by authorizing the government, for countless typical Americans and American companies, to secretly assist in their surveillance. If there is one thing we know, expansive surveillance authorities will always be used and abused. Let's do the right thing and vote aye to strike the horribly drafted, sweeping new surveillance authorities that we will surely regret. The PRESIDING OFFICER.
