WASHINGTON, D.C.—The House is scheduled to take up compromise FISA legislation on Friday. The following statement after negotiators reached an agreement on FISA legislation was released by Representative Rahm Emanuel:
“The FISA legislation we will consider gives our intelligence community the tools it needs and the public the civil liberty protections it deserves. In addition, it rejects calls for automatic immunity for private sector companies. While this bill isn’t perfect, the perfect should never be the enemy of the good. I applaud the Democrats and Republicans who reached this compromise and produced legislation that deserves support from both sides of the aisle.” |
