On the recordApril 19, 2024
I rise in opposition to this amendment. This amendment would have the effect of basically destroying section 702. Unfortunately, over the last 20 years--Anwar al-Awlaki, Robert Hanssen, Faisal Shahzad--there have been a number of American citizens who created terrorists acts that 702 has been used for. As a matter of fact, many times, when you start the investigation, you don't know if the individual is an American or a foreigner. I respectfully ask us to defeat the amendment and give the balance of my time to Senator Rubio. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Florida.
