confidence in the oversight conducted by the foreign intelligence surveillance court, known as the fisk. it was created by congress to provide judicial review of certain intelligence activities so that a federal judge must find that our actions are consistent with the constitution. however, to build greater confidence, i think we should consider some additional changes to the fisc. one of the concerns people raised is that a judge reviewing a request from the government to

the fisk has a full-time staff that is very competent. and if i can address the issue of the applications, because i think that's something that's out there, a certain number of applications are never rejected. a couple of points. one, if anybody worked on the criminal side, it's pretty rare that a title iii application is rejected as well. that's just the nature of the business because applications are so well put together through the process. but two, in recent weeks we've started to open up a little bit more to discuss how the fisk process works, and there's something that many of you have probably heard of called a recopy. before we file an application with the fisk, we file, effectively, a draft application that can be days, week withs, months before a final application is submitted. and there's an iterative process with the court and with the judges as to what improvements they would require, what improvements they think need to be necessary, and the government takes that into account. so when -- and a final submission may not be ma
