Consistent with the Principles of Intelligence Transparency, the ODNI has released volumes of information to enhance public understanding of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). This includes hundreds of documents relating to how Section 702 is implemented and overseen.

After the 1978 passage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) it became apparent that the law left significant gaps in intelligence collection authority. While the Government had the power in a criminal investigation to compel the production of records with a grand jury subpoena, it lacked similar authority in a foreign intelligence investigation.

All intelligence professionals take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. The most recent National Intelligence Strategy of the United States says unequivocally that, “The Intelligence Community must exemplify America’s values: operating under the rule of law, consistent with Americans’ expectations for protection of privacy and civil liberties, respectful of human rights, and in a manner that retains the trust of the American people.”

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) defines the process for requesting judicial authorization for electronic surveillance of persons engaged in espionage or international terrorism against the United States on behalf of a foreign power.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) is a U.S. federal court established and authorized by the U.S. Congress under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. The court oversees requests made by federal law enforcement agencies for surveillance warrants against suspected foreign intelligence agents inside the United States.
