Mr. THUNE. 4465, which is at the desk.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, the Senator from Oregon has referenced a letter, and my understanding is that both the chair of the Intelligence Committee Senator Cotton and the ranking member on the Senate Intelligence Committee Senator Warner have agreed to this letter, and it reflects what the Senator from Oregon is asking for.

And so I think that, hopefully, at this point, we will be able to proceed and allow for additional time and consideration so that we can come to an agreement that, hopefully, this body and the House can agree upon to reauthorize the FISA Program.

I think there is a discussion going on about reforms to that. But this will allow additional time to do that. In the meantime, I think, again, my understanding is, the chair and ranking member have signed off on the letter to which the Senator from Oregon refers.
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THUNE. I know of no further debate on the bill.
