Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that authorities under section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 should be allowed to expire.

Bill 118 HRES 577, also known as the Expressing the Sense of the House of Representatives that Authorities under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Should be Allowed to Expire, is a resolution introduced in the US Congress. The resolution calls for the expiration of authorities granted under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978.

Section 702 of FISA allows the US government to collect information on foreign targets located outside the United States for intelligence purposes. This includes the collection of communications such as emails and phone calls. However, there have been concerns raised about the potential for abuse of these authorities, including the collection of information on US citizens without a warrant.

The resolution expresses the opinion of the House of Representatives that these authorities should be allowed to expire. This would mean that the government would no longer have the legal authority to conduct surveillance under Section 702 of FISA. Supporters of the resolution argue that allowing these authorities to expire would help protect the privacy rights of US citizens. It is important to note that this resolution is not a binding piece of legislation, but rather a statement of the House of Representatives' opinion on the matter. The resolution may spark further debate and discussion on the issue of government surveillance and privacy rights.
