ACLU STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD FOR SENATE JUDICIARY HEARING ON “EXAMINING THE INSPECTOR GENERAL’S REPORT ON ALLEGED ABUSES OF THE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE ACT”

The IG found that there were a litany of inaccuracies and omissions in the initial

Carter Page surveillance application and subsequent renewal application. Even

more, these problems went largely unchallenged by the Foreign Intelligence

Surveillance Court (FISC) and would likely have never been revealed but

for the significant attention this investigation has received by the IG and members of

Congress.

In light of these findings, the ACLU urges the committee to enact

legislation to enhance accountability, oversight, and transparency within the

FISA process by:
