Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of S. 1318, the Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act. This legislation will extend FISA section 702 for another 3 years.

This law is an essential national security tool. You don't need any more evidence. Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States, our Commander in Chief, both of us who hail from New York, understand that FISA section 702 is a vital tool that allows the U.S. to gather intelligence on dangerous foreign adversaries.

After speaking with our military leaders, President Trump recently commented: Not one said, even tacitly, that they can do without FISA section 702.

President Trump also said that FISA section 702 is one of the reasons we have had such tremendous success on the battlefield as we pursue this war in the Middle East.

Mr. Speaker, I urge all my colleagues to support our military, protect our national security, and vote ``yes'' on this critically important section.
