the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. lee: i appreciate the thoughtful words that have been presented by my friend and colleague, the distinguished senator from virginia, who also chairs the senate's intelligence oversight committee. it's unfortunate that he's unwilling to have these amendments even considered, especially unfortunate because it appears to be predicated on the risk of fisa 702 lapsing. now, unless we do something on this in the meantime, it is going to lapse, at least for a period. time. as i made clear a moment ago, the language we adopted in 2018 and that we reuped in december of last year, 2023, makes abundantly clear that fisa 702 collection can continue unabated through april of 2025, based on the recertification by the foreign intelligence surveillance court. that's continued for one year, following the certification, as long as fisa 702 was still intact and nonexpired as of the moment of the certification, which it was. but even if that were not the case, if what we're worried about here is the cloc

the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. lee: mr. president, i echo and endorse the wise comments just uttered by my friend and colleague, the distinguished senator from missouri. what we're witnessing here is the destruction of the legislative process in the senate. the senate's here today preparing to vote on one of the most significant pieces of legislation this entire congress, that is on a bill to send nearly $100 billion overseas, and senators are unable even to offer an amendment to that bill. by filling the amendment tree this afternoon, the majority leader has prevented every single member of this body from offering amendments to the legislation, any efforts to improve it. if we want to have any amendment considered, we have to beg the majority leader to let it come before the full senate for a vote. now you may remember that just a couple of months ago we were in a very similar position on a very, very similar bill. senator schumer promised a fair and open amendment process on the national security supplemental in

the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. lee: mr. president, over the last few hours, i listened to debates occurring on the senate floor over the foreign intelligence surveillance act, and specifically discussions surrounding section 702 of fisa. discussions surrounding, among other things, that fisa 702 reauthorization, passed last week by the house of representatives. that bill that they passed last week is commonly known as resa. and under resa there are a lot of conversations going on about what does and what doesn't concern americans, what should or shouldn't concern americans. and under this bill that i'm going to be talking about today, resa, it's an acronym that stands for reforming intelligence and securing america act. like so many other bills that get passed by congress, risa has a really orwellian name. it purports to do something that on further inspection it doesn't do and in some cases it does quite the opposite of that. and so there's been a lot of misinformation being pedalled by the purveyors of the cult of infalli
