Letter to Jerrold Nadler, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee - Lofgren, Davidson Send Letter to Judiciary Committee Chair Nadler Urging a Markup of their Bipartisan FISA Reform Bill

Letter

Date: Feb. 27, 2020
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Technology and Communication

Dear Chairman Nadler:

With the announcement that the markup has been postponed for H.R. XX, the "USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act of 2020," we would like to request that the Committee markup our bipartisan bill, H.R. 5675, the "Safeguarding Americans' Private Records Act of 2020."

This comprehensive bipartisan, bicameral legislation closes loopholes and strengthens oversight to prevent government overreach and abuse; permanently ends the indiscriminate collection of massive amounts of domestic communications; prohibits warrantless collection of geolocation and web browsing data by intelligence agencies; and ensures the Intelligence Community is held to the standards established under the Fourth Amendment. The bill pulls the intelligence programs in the direction of compliance with our Constitution.

We look forward to working together in a collegial manner to help protect Americans' privacy rights while providing the Intelligence Community tools to protect U.S. national security interests.
