                            FISA LEGISLATION

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, on another issue, Senator Bond reports 
that the FISA discussions have yielded a rough compromise that may be 
acceptable to the DNI, the White House, and the chairs and ranking 
members of the Intelligence Committees. Because the House leadership 
has denied a majority of House Members a vote on the acceptable Senate-
passed bill last year, the burden remains on House leaders to prove 
they are capable of passing FISA legislation that the President will 
sign.
