The Subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 1:30 p.m., in room 2141, Rayburn Office Building, the Honorable F. James Sensen- brenner, Jr. (Chairman of the Subcommittee) presiding. Present: Representatives Sensenbrenner, Smith, Gohmert, Lun- gren, Poe, Chaffetz, Griffin, Marino, Gowdy, Adams, Quayle, Scott, Conyers, Johnson, Chu, Wasserman Schultz, and Quigley.

Mr. SENSENBRENNER. The Subcommittee will come to order. And welcome to today’s hearing on the reauthorization of the PA- TRIOT Act. I would like to especially welcome our witnesses and thank you for joining us today. Presently I am joined by the distinguished Ranking Member and Chairman emeritus of the Subcommittee, Bobby Scott of Virginia. There will be more Members that will be coming later on. I yield myself 5 minutes for an opening statement. Today’s hearing on the reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act will focus on three provisions set to expire May 27th: section 206, rov- ing authority; section 215, business records; and the ‘‘lone wolf’’ definition. Last month, Congress approved a 90-day extension of these pro- visions to ensure their continued use by the intelligence commu- nity. The extension also affords this Committee the opportunity to review how these provisions are used and how to assist our na- tional security investigations and to ensure that they are not being misused. The Committee plans to hold an additional hearing later this month on the permanent provisions of the PATRIOT Act. As the then Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, I oversaw the enactment of the USA PATRIOT Act in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Title 2 of the act addressed enhanced for- eign intelligence and law enforcement surveillance authority. 14 of the 16 sections of that title were made permanent by the 2005 PA- TRIOT Act reauthorization.

Also set to expire on that date was section 6001 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorist Prevention Act of 2004, which we call IRTPA, the lone wolf definition. Congress did not enact a reauthorization in 2009. Instead the expiring provisions were extended three times, first for 60 days, then for a year, and now for 90 days, and it is time for Congress to reauthorize this law. Congress should make permanent the lone wolf definition. This provision closes a gap in FISA that if allowed to expire could per- mit an additional terrorist to slip through the cracks and carry out his plot undetected. It has nothing to do whatsoever with any type of surveillance on these people. That is in other parts of the

    Wednesday, March 9, 2011 Union Station, East Hall Washington, DC The Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues was founded on April 19, 1977, by a small, bipartisan group of Congresswomen who gathered in a room in the U.S. Capitol to discuss the problem of spousal abuse. In the years that followed, the ever-increasing numbers of women elected to Congress have continued to meet to discuss and act on a wide range of issues affecting women and their families.

  • Electronic Communications Surveillance
    Electronic Communications Surveillance LAUREN REGAN “I think you’re misunderstanding the perceived problem here, Mr. President. No one is saying you broke any laws. We’re just saying it’s a little bit weird that you didn’t have to.”—John Oliver on The Daily Show1 The government is collecting information on millions of citizens. Phone, Internet, and email habits, credit card and bank records—vir- tually all information that is communicated electronically is subject to the watchful eye of the state. The government is even building a nifty, 1.5 million square foot facility in Utah to house all of this data.2 With the recent exposure of the NSA’s PRISM program by whistleblower Edward Snowden, many people—especially activists—are wondering: How much privacy do we actually have? Well, as far as electronic pri- vacy, the short answer is: None. None at all. There are a few ways to protect yourself, but ultimately, nothing in electronic communications is absolutely protected. In the United States, surveillance of electronic communications is governed primarily by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA), which is an extension of the 1968 Federal Wiretap act (also called “Title III”) and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Other legislation, such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), sup- plement both the ECPA and FISA. The ECPA is divided into three broad areas: wiretaps and “electronic eavesdropping,” stored messages, and pen registers and trap-and-trace devices. Each degree of surveillance requires a particular burden that the government must meet in order to engage in the surveillance.

  • THE BRIDGE BETWEEN the WAR on DRUGS and the WAR on TERRORISM Gerald G. Ashdown* the Reaction to The
    THE BLUEING OF AMERICA: THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE WAR ON DRUGS AND THE WAR ON TERRORISM Gerald G. Ashdown* I. INTRODUCTION The reaction to the Vietnam War protest years, the presidency of Richard Nixon, and ultimately that of Ronald Reagan, ushered in a conservative revolution in the United States that still endures. Republican Presidents during this period have appointed eleven Justices to the United States Supreme Court,1 seven of whom serve on the Court today.2 Coinciding with this historical phenomenon was the proliferation of drug usage in the country: first marijuana, hallucinogenic drugs, and amphetamines during the counterculture years of the late ’60s and ’70s, and later powder and then crack cocaine. When prosecutorial emphasis shifted, especially at the federal level,3 to meet the increased fascination with narcotics, courts in the country became deluged with drug cases, many if not most of which presented Fourth Amendment search and seizure issues. This, of course, was because the Fourth Amendment’s exclusionary rule could make the corpus of the crime unavailable to the prosecution.4 Due to the presence of this important Fourth Amendment issue in drug prosecutions, both state and federal, a significant number of these cases found their way to the United States Supreme Court for review. In most of these cases, the Court did not disappoint the Republican Presidents who had appointed a majority of the Justices. Under the tutelage of Chief Justices * James A. “Buck” & June M. Harless Professor of Law, West Virginia University College of Law. 1. Justices Blackmun, Powell, and Rehnquist were appointed by Richard M.

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Terrorism Investigations Jerome P. Bjelopera Specialist in Organized Crime and Terrorism April 24, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41780 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Terrorism Investigations Summary The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI, the Bureau) is the lead federal law enforcement agency charged with counterterrorism investigations. Since the September 11, 2001 (9/11) attacks, the FBI has implemented a series of reforms intended to transform itself from a largely reactive law enforcement agency focused on investigations of criminal activity into a more proactive, agile, flexible, and intelligence-driven agency that can prevent acts of terrorism. This report provides background information on key elements of the FBI terrorism investigative process based on publicly available information. It discusses • several enhanced investigative tools, authorities, and capabilities provided to the FBI through post-9/11 legislation, such as the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001; the 2008 revision to the Attorney General’s Guidelines for Domestic FBI Operations (Mukasey Guidelines); and the expansion of Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF) throughout the country; • intelligence reform within the FBI and concerns about the progress of those reform initiatives; • the FBI’s proactive, intelligence-driven posture in its terrorism investigations using preventative policing techniques such as the “Al Capone” approach and the use of agent provocateurs; and • the implications for privacy and civil liberties inherent in the use of preventative policing techniques to combat terrorism. This report sets forth possible considerations for Congress as it executes its oversight role.
