To amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to ensure that politically derived information is not used in an application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for an order under title I or III of such Act.

Bill 118 hr 4454 aims to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to prevent politically derived information from being used in applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for orders under title I or III of the Act. The bill seeks to ensure that any information used in these applications is based on legitimate national security concerns rather than political motivations.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) allows the government to collect information on foreign powers and agents operating within the United States for national security purposes. However, there have been concerns raised about the potential misuse of FISA to target individuals for political reasons.

The proposed amendment would require that any information used in FISA applications be verified as coming from legitimate national security sources and not from politically motivated sources. This is intended to prevent the abuse of FISA for political purposes and to protect the privacy and civil liberties of individuals targeted under the Act. Overall, Bill 118 hr 4454 seeks to uphold the integrity of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by ensuring that it is used solely for its intended purpose of national security and not for political gain.
