mr. werfel: thank you. chair wyden: senator young, your point about oversight, that is what our job is all about. senator cortez master, you are next. sen. cortez masto: i have two questions for you. one involves the solar tax credits. i want to thank you for making the low income community's on his credit program a success. it is set to deliver nearly 1.8 gigawatts of clean energy in low income communities across the united states. more residential solar was installed in 2023 than ever before. here is my concern. after reviewing the 2024 program the current guidance reduces the amount of capacity for category one residential solar -- solar projects. this reduction will negatively impact states that have an active residential solar market, but no regulatory framework to support community solar, which is where the credit capacity was increased. residential solar deploys seven times more capacity than community solar. so my question to you is, can you explain that or can you address the concerns i have? mr. werfel: i wou

mr. wyden: president, i rise in strong opposition to this fisa bill. and to begin, there is a central question before the united states senate, and that is who should be forced to help their government spy? the legislation coming from the other body gives the government unchecked authority to order americans to spy on behalf of their government. this was slipped in, mr. president, in the last minutes in the house of representatives bill, and this is the first time this language has ever been considered here in the united states senate. under current law, section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act, the government can order the phone companies and e-mail and internet service providers to hand over communications. this bill expands that existing power dramatically. it says, and i quote, the government can force cooperation from, quote, any other service provider who has access to equipment that is being or that -- that is being or may be used to transmit or store wire or electronic communications. now, the language i just read to the senate
