  Mr. FEINGOLD. Mr. President, this amendment would simply require the 
Department of Justice to report to the Intelligence Committee and the 
Judiciary Committee about the use of this new lone-wolf exception to 
FISA. With this information, Congress will be better able to assess the 
need for reauthorization as the sunset provision in the bill 
approaches. I am pleased that the amendment has been agreed to by the 
sponsors of the bill.
  I ask unanimous consent that this amendment be agreed to under the 
previous order.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the amendment is 
agreed to.
  The amendment (No. 536) was agreed to.
  Mr. FEINGOLD. Thank you, Mr. President. I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, this morning I noted in detail the provisions 
of this amendment, why I supported the amendment and why I thought it 
was a good thing, and therefore any reference to further discussion on 
it can be made to the comments I made on it this morning.
  Mr. FEINGOLD. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Arizona for his 
cooperation in working together to provide this measure of 
accountability to this important piece of legislation.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
