let me tell you what the fbi director says. i've never seen so many blinking lights as i do now. wherever i turn, i see threats. i've never seen a time in american history that i've been involved as fbi director with this many threats all at once. everywhere i look, i see blinking lights. he response to that is to help our allies, not turn away. how can you say we're under great threat and we're not willing to provide aid to people who are on the tip of the sphere? so this aid package coming back from the house is better than it was when it left the senate. it has more for israel, it has the ability to get russian assets to help the american taxpayer and reconstruct ukraine with russian money, not american money or other money. it has a component in here to let the ayatollah know we're not going to bend in israel. and it resfourss taiwan's -- reinforces taiwan's military defense at a time they're vulnerable. this is a good package, it has a loan component recognizing we are in debt. it's not a perfect package. i was hoping it had border security but it doesn't. since we last had

based on recent fbi statistics, that would amendment to just 80 times a month that the fbi or other agencies engaged in this 702 surveillance would have to ask for a court order to protect inquiries and investigations into private communications of american citizens. i have sat through various numerous classified briefings on section 702 and listened carefully to the government's concerns about having to obtain this court approval in order to review the contents of american communications. my bipartisan amendment accounts for these concerns by providing exceptions to the warrant requirement for emergencies or cybersecurity attacks, or where an american certainly consents to the search. this will ensure there will be no delays that jeopardize national security. what it will not allow are fishing expeditions in which there are no unusual circumstances and the government does not have probable cause. this pragmatic approach respecting the constitution will safeguard american privacy and still preserve section 702's critical value for collecting foreign intelligence and protecting national secur
