mr. cornyn: mr. president, i had a like to speak about the most important law that most americans have never heard of, and that is section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act. last week the house of representatives passed legislation to reauthorize this important law before it expires at the end of this week. fy is a, as its -- fisa, the foreign intelligence surveillance act, and section 702 in particular, is one of the most important and consequential laws that we use to keep our law safe from adversaries overseas. congress enacted section 702 in 2008 in response to the threats posed by terrorist groups in the wake of 9/11. it tore down some of the walls with respect to information-sharing used to keep our country i have a safe, and there is no question it's been a success. information acquired through section 702 has helped identify threats against u.s. troops and to thwart planned terrorist attacks abroad and here at home. it's enabled the federal government to stop components of weap

mr. cornyn: mr. president, if i were to choose a title for the remarks which i plan on making here briefly, i would call the title of this -- these comments the case of the vanishing american paycheck. over the last few years, inflation has walloped family budgets. as we all know prices have grown. they've grown again and grown some more. forcing people in texas and all across america to scrimp and save just to try to get by. they've cut the number of trips to their favorite restaurant, they've made budget friendly swaps at the grocery store, trading for less expensive items, maybe the store brand rather than your favorite brand. they scrapped family vacations in favor of more affordable staycations. in many instances they've had to make hard decisions between two competing, important expenses. for example, a couple of years ago, nearly 45% of texans said they had to cut spending on basic necessities, including food and medicine in order to pay their energy bill. polls continue to show that americans

mr. cornyn: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from texas. mr. cornyn: mr. president, i'm glad i was on the floor to hear the distinguished senator from illinois' comments about section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act. this is perhaps the most important law that most americans have never heard of before. but here we are, debating that and the house having passed a bill and send it over to us, it's our responsibility now to consider that bill. we all want to protect the privacy and constitutional rights of american citizens. that's not negotiable. i agree with the senator on that point, and i think we all should agree. but the fact of the matter is the house bill is a reform bill. it's not section 702 as it's currently -- as it currently operates. this provides numerous guardrails, accountability measures, and other measures that i believe will limit, if not eliminate, the opportunity to abuse this authority to the detriment of american citizens. rather, i believe this law must be passed in order to protect those same people. it's really impo

mr. cornyn: mr. president, i appreciate the opportunity to engage my friend and colleague, the distinguished chairman of the senate judiciary committee, and a distinguished lawyer in his own right so this is his wheelhouse. but i think -- i appreciate the question because i think maybe there's a nuaunce here that either i misstated my position because i'm of the same mind you are when it comes to an american citizen who's mentioned in a communication with the foreign actor because it is his design to deal only with foreign actors. what i was referring to was incidental communication, communication between a foreign actor and a u.s. person, and we call it a u.s. person because it could also be a u.s. permanent resident. when there's that contact between a target, foreign target and the american citizen, that's considered to be incidental collection and no court had said it violates the fourth amendment. but i agree with the senator that if in fact there's a mention of an american citizen in that commu

mr. cornyn: mr. president, the senate is currently debating the authorization or reauthorization of section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act. i've called this the most important law that most americans have never heard of. but it is essential -- an essential tool for our intelligence community to protect the american people against a whole array of threats, as i'll try to explain. but it is somewhat complicated which means that it's important to make sure that we understand what the facts are and to dispel any myths or misconceptions about what exactly we're asking the senate to vote on. unless the senate takes action soon, section 702 of the foreign insell generals sure -- foreign intelligence surveillance act will expire at midnight tonight. if that happens, the united states will lose access to valuable intelligence that's needed by our intelligence community to keep america safe. our country's top intelligence officials have shared a number of success stories that demonstrate the

mr. chairman. sen. warner: senator cornyn. sen. cornyn: director wray, i wanted to ask you a little bit about some of your testimony about the border. last year, 169 individuals on the terrorist watch list were detained at the southern border. so far this year, it has been 58. we know there were, since 2021, approximately 1.8 million got always, not people who turn themselves in, not people paroled in the interior, but 1.8 million migrants who were evading law enforcement at the border. can you tell us, the american people, with any certainty that there are zero people on the terrorist watchlist that were among that 1.8 million got aways? director wray: what i would say is you rightly highlighted kind of, if you remember what secretary rumsfeld used to refer to, the no nones and the unknown nones, and in many ways, the national security ramifications of the issues at the border are better reflected in some ways more by what we do not know about the people who snuck in and provided fake documents or in some other way got in when the

mr. cornyn: mr. president, it is illegal for the united states government or any of its agencies to spy on american citizens. it is illegal, and nothing in this bill changes that. the fact is the house has passed a reform bill which has made it far less likely for there to be abuses inadvertent and otherwise, and it has real accountability measures that will punish people who abuse these necessary tools. the fact of the matter is 702 applies to foreigners overseas, not americans here in the united states. and whether it's incidental collection, court after court after court has said that it does not violate the fourth amendment. there is no constitutional violation. and if the intelligence agencies want to look further at an american citizen, they have to go to the foreign intelligence surveillance court and get a warrant, show probable cause that a crime has been committed. the presiding officer: all time has expired. mr. cornyn: if we pass this requirement it will benefit our foreign adversaries --
