          STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

      By Mr. BOOKER (for himself, Mr. Menendez, and Mrs. Boxer):
  S. 2679. A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to 
reinstate the financing for the Hazardous Substance Superfund, and for 
other purposes; to the Committee on Finance.
  Mr. BOOKER. Mr. President, I rise today to introduce with my 
colleagues Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, and Senator Barbara 
Boxer of California, the Superfund Polluter Pays Restoration Act of 
2014. This bill reinstates an expired excise tax on polluting 
industries to help fund the cleanup of Superfund sites and restore 
communities back to health.
  Across our Nation we have far too many un-remediated and dangerous 
Superfund sites sitting in our neighborhoods--properties that are 
literally poisoning our residents. This problem is particularly acute 
in my State of New Jersey, which is both the most densely populated 
State and the State with the most Superfund sites.
  Nationwide, there are more than 1300 Superfund sites on the National 
Priorities List, NPL, which require long-term cleanups. The sites 
listed on the NPL are the most heavily contaminated in the country and 
are the sites that pose the greatest potential risk to public health 
and the environment. In the past five years, 94 new sites have been 
added to the NPL, but an average of only 7 have been removed each year.
  Cleanup has not even begun at hundreds of these NPL sites. Officials 
at the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, and the Government 
Accountability Office, GAO, state that the reason why cleanup is not 
starting at hundreds of sites, and taking so long at others, is because 
of the limited funding available for cleanup activities.
  There are more than 11 million Americans who live within one mile of 
a Superfund site, and of that, 3 to 4 million are children. Studies 
show that children are particularly susceptible to the health hazards 
presented by Superfund sites. Researchers have found increased autism 
rates, and recently researchers found that babies born to mothers 
living within 1 mile of a Superfund site prior to cleanup had a 20 
percent greater incidence of being born with birth defects.
  The need for more funding could not be clearer.
  When Congress created Superfund in 1980, it established the Superfund 
Trust Fund from which the EPA receives annual appropriations for 
Superfund cleanup activities. For 15 years, the Trust Fund received a 
steady source of revenue from excise taxes on crude oil and certain 
chemicals. Those taxes expired at the end of fiscal year 1995. The 
Superfund program is now operating at 40 percent of 1987 levels, which 
is unsustainable according to a 2010 GAO report which found that 
current funding levels would likely not be sufficient to meet the 
future needs of the Superfund program EPA officials estimate they will 
need 2 to 2.5 times more funding to effectively and efficiently cleanup 
unremediated sites.
  It is unfair for the taxpayer to shoulder the burden of cleanup costs 
for these Superfund sites. To meet the need for additional funding and 
to protect the health of our families and children, Senator Menendez, 
Senator Boxer, and I have come together to introduce this act, aimed at 
holding polluting industries accountable, reducing the need to spend 
taxpayer dollars, and providing a steady flow of funds to the Superfund 
program.
                                 ______
                                 
      By Mr. LEAHY (for himself, Mr. Lee, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Heller, Mr. 
        Franken, Mr. Cruz, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Udall of New Mexico, Mr. 
        Coons, Mr. Heinrich, Mr. Markey, Ms. Hirono, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. 
        Whitehouse, Mr. Schumer, and Mr. Sanders):
  S. 2685. A bill to reform the authorities of the Federal Government 
to require the production of certain business records, conduct 
electronic surveillance, use pen registers and trap and trace devices, 
and use other forms of information gathering for foreign intelligence, 
counterterrorism, and criminal purposes, and for other purposes; read 
the first time.

[[Page S5054]]

  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I am going to speak on another issue. I see 
my distinguished colleague from Utah Senator Lee is on the floor. It is 
an issue he has worked with me on. We have tried to join together. It 
was more than a year ago that not only here in the United States but 
the whole world learned some very startling details about the massive 
scope of the National Security Agency's surveillance programs.
  Since then the American people, and actually, all three branches of 
government have been debating the same fundamental questions about the 
extent of government power that the Framers considered when they 
crafted the Constitution. Many of us had been arguing those same 
issues, whether in the Judiciary Committee, the Intelligence Committee, 
or others. But it was hard to get anybody's attention.
  Suddenly the whole world was listening.
  The obvious question is, when and how should the government be 
permitted to gather information about its citizens? How do we protect 
our country while we preserve our fundamental principles and our 
constitutional liberties? These questions are even more relevant and 
more complex as technology develops rapidly, and as more data is 
created every second.
  Nobody questions that the government cannot just walk into our 
houses, rifle through our drawers, our filing cabinets, and our 
cupboards, to see what we might have there. But that is not where we 
keep our data anymore. It is on computers. By the same token, they 
shouldn't have the right to rifle through our electronic files either. 
If they collect all this data, should the government be allowed to 
collect and use all of it?
  To what extent does this massive collection of data improve our 
national security and at what cost to our privacy and free expression? 
If we pick up everything, do we actually have anything?
  The Senate Judiciary Committee considered these and other important 
questions during the course of six public hearings held over the past 
year. During this deliberative process, the Committee considered 
whether the bulk collection of Americans' phone records has been 
effective in preventing terrorist attacks, the privacy implications of 
the program, and the effect on the U.S. technology industry. Those 
hearings helped to demonstrate the need for additional limits on 
government surveillance authorities.
  As these hearings continued, the call for an end to bulk collection 
under Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act grew louder and more 
persistent. The President's own Review Group on Intelligence and 
Communications Technology testified before the Judiciary Committee to 
call for an end to bulk collection, concluding that ``[t]he information 
contributed to terrorist investigations by the use of section 215 
telephony meta-data was not essential to preventing attacks and could 
readily have been obtained in a timely manner using conventional 
section 215 orders.'' The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board 
also called for an end to bulk collection, concluding that the program 
``lacks a viable legal foundation under Section 215.'' Technology 
executives, legal scholars and privacy advocates called for an end to 
bulk collection. These witnesses also proposed meaningful reforms to 
other government authorities, such as Section 702 of FISA, the pen 
register and trap and trace authorities under FISA, and the national 
security letter statutes.
  Then, earlier this year, President Obama himself embraced the growing 
consensus that the bulk collection of phone records should not continue 
in its current form.
  Just this week two new reports highlighted the costs of not placing 
reasonable limits on government surveillance, not just the significant 
economic cost if you don't put limits but the impact of journalistic 
freedom and also our right to counsel--our right to counsel--something 
we assume is an unalienable right, and it is, but it is being 
undermined.
  That is why the technology industry, the privacy and civil liberties 
community are unified in support for this bill. It is actually now time 
for Congress to act.
  That is why I am introducing the USA FREEDOM Act of 2014. It builds 
on the legislation that was passed by the House of Representatives in 
May, as well as the original bicameral, bipartisan legislation I 
introduced with Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner 10 months ago--last 
October.
  I continue to prefer the original version of the USA FREEDOM Act, but 
we are running short on time in this Congress. Since passage of the 
House version in May, I have been working to address concerns that the 
text of the House bill--though clearly intended to end bulk 
collection--did not do so effectively. I have worked with both 
Republicans and Democrats, House Members and Senators.
  I spent the past several months in discussions with the intelligence 
community and a wide range of stakeholders, other Senators, privacy and 
civil liberties groups, and our U.S. technology industry.
  The bill I am introducing today is the result of those hundreds of 
hours of negotiations and meetings.
  First, and most importantly, this bill ensures that the ban on bulk 
collection is a real ban on bulk collection and that it is effective. 
It ensures the government cannot rely on section 215 of the USA PATRIOT 
Act--the FISA pen register and trap-and-trace device statute or the 
national security letter statutes--to engage in the indiscriminate 
collection of Americans' private records: yours, mine or anybody else's 
who may be watching this debate.
  Under this legislation, when the government uses these authorities to 
collect information, it has to narrowly limit its collection based on a 
``specific selection term'' that identifies the focus of the 
collection. ``Specific selection term'' is carefully defined. For 
Section 215 and the pen register statute, the definition ensures that 
the government must use a term that is narrowly limited to the greatest 
extent reasonably practicable consistent with the purpose for seeking 
the information. The bill specifies the term cannot be a broad 
geographic area, such as city or State or ZIP Code or area code, nor 
can it simply be a service provider. For national security letters, the 
government must specifically identify the target about whom it seeks 
information. These provisions preclude the government from seeking 
large swaths of information that it does not need--and that might very 
well include private details about the lives of law-abiding Americans.

  As a backstop, the bill also mandates additional minimization 
procedures when the government's collection under Section 215 is likely 
to be overbroad. It requires the government to destroy data unrelated 
to its investigation within a reasonable time frame.
  Second, the bill enhances transparency regarding the government's use 
of surveillance tools. That is one of the best checks on a runaway 
government. FISA and other national security laws provide law 
enforcement with an extraordinary amount of power. The American people 
have a right to know how that power is exercised.
  Among other things, this bill requires the government to report to 
the public key information about the scope of the collection under a 
range of national security authorities, including the number of queries 
about Americans that it conducts in databases collected under Section 
702. It also allows private companies more leeway to disclose the 
number of FISA orders and national security letters they receive.
  I see the distinguished Senator from Minnesota, Mr. Franken, on the 
floor. I thank him in particular for his leadership and helping to 
draft these transparency provisions.
  Likewise, I thank Senator Blumenthal for his work on the bill's key 
reforms to the FISA Court. The bill requires the FISA Court and the 
FISA Court of Review, in consultation with the Privacy and Civil 
Liberties Oversight Board, to appoint a panel of special advocates who 
can advance legal positions supporting individual privacy and civil 
liberties--in other words, it will not be just one voice that is heard, 
we will actually have dissenting voices--and improve judicial review.
  The FISA Court would be required to appoint one of these advocates 
whenever it confronts a significant or novel issue of law, or it must 
issue a written finding that appointment of an advocate is not 
appropriate. The bill also requires the FISA Court to report the

[[Page S5055]]

number of times that it appoints or declines to appoint an advocate 
when confronting a novel or significant issue of law. This bill 
additionally provides a certification mechanism for appellate review of 
FISA Court decisions when the government prevails, and it provides a 
declassification process for significant FISA Court decisions.
  Finally, this bill improves the judicial review procedures for 
nondisclosure orders that accompany Section 215 orders and national 
security letters. These have been so overused. This legislation 
responds to decisions by Federal courts that found these provisions 
violate the First Amendment.
  While this bill contains significant reforms and improvements, it 
doesn't fix every problem, and we know there is more work to be done--
in particular, with regard to Section 702 of FISA and other broad 
government surveillance authorities that implicate the privacy rights 
of Americans.
  We could spend the next 20 years waiting to get 100 percent of 
everything we need. I would like to get most of what we need and then 
work on the rest.
  The bill provides for public reporting on Section 702. That will help 
set the stage for reform, but transparency alone is not enough. I will 
continue to work with both Republican and Democratic Senators and other 
outside experts to work on these issues.
  For developing the legislation, I consulted closely with the Office 
of the Director of National Intelligence, the NSA, the FBI, and the 
Department of Justice--and every single word of this bill was vetted 
with those agencies. I am grateful for their receptiveness to the 
public's concerns and for their constructive participation in this 
process. Together, we worked hard to ensure that this bill enacts 
significant and meaningful reforms to protect individual privacy, while 
providing the Intelligence Community with operational flexibility to 
safeguard this country.
  The Intelligence Community will still have the ability to safeguard 
this country--nobody is suggesting they shouldn't, but collecting 
everything is the same as having nothing. That was the mistake we had 
before 9/11, where we had the information that could have stopped the 
attack on 9/11, but we failed to look at it all.
  I am pleased the executive branch supports our bill. I am pleased the 
President agrees it should be enacted as soon as possible. But 
ultimately we--Senators and our colleagues in the other body--have the 
responsibility of the American people to do what is right and to 
protect the privacy of the American people. That is why we have worked 
hard with everybody to ensure the bill enacts meaningful reforms.
  This is the most important thing to remember: We can enact this bill, 
get it signed into law, and it would represent the most significant 
reform of government surveillance authorities since Congress passed the 
USA PATRIOT Act 13 years ago. It is a historic opportunity. We would be 
derelict in our duty to this country if we passed up that opportunity.
  I think if people such as Senator Lee, Senator Durbin, Senator 
Heller, Senator Franken, Senator Cruz, Senator Blumenthal, Senator Tom 
Udall, Senator Coons, Senator Heinrich, Senator Markey, Senator Hirono, 
Senator Klobuchar, and Senator Whitehouse have joined, this is not a 
partisan bill, this is not a Democratic or Republican bill, this is a 
good bill that protects America.

  I also note the particular contributions over many years of Senator 
Wyden and Senator Mark Udall. They have worked tirelessly to protect 
Americans' privacy from their posts on the Intelligence Committee.
  I am introducing this revised version of the USA FREEDOM Act today 
because we cannot afford to wait any longer to end the bulk collection 
of Americans' records. I am concerned that we are running out of time 
on the legislative calendar. Typically, my strong preference would be 
to take up the bill in the Judiciary Committee and mark it up. But 
given the need to act quickly, I am willing to forego regular order and 
take this bill directly to the Senate Floor.
  We cannot let this opportunity go by. This is a debate about 
Americans' fundamental relationship with their government, about 
whether our government should have the power to create massive 
databases of information about its citizens or whether we are in 
control of our own government, not the other way around.
  I believe we have to impose stronger limits on government 
surveillance powers. I am confident that most Vermonters, and most 
Americans, agree with me. We need to get this right, and we need to get 
it done without further delay.
  I close with one very quick story I have used before. About the only 
thing I have actually saved from a newspaper that was written about me, 
and I liked it so much I framed it. As the distinguished Presiding 
Officer knows, I live on a dirt road, a place where my wife and I 
celebrated our honeymoon 52 years ago. The adjoining farmer has known 
me since I was a little kid.
  The whole story in that paper goes like this: A man in an out-of-
State car on a Saturday morning drives up, sees the farmer on the 
porch, and says:
  Does Senator Leahy live up this way?
  He says: Are you a relative of his?
  Well, no, I am not.
  Are you a friend of his?
  Well, not really.
  Is he expecting you?
  No.
  Never heard of him.
  We like our privacy.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be 
printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be 
printed in the Record, as follows:

                                S. 2685

       ``(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, 
     the Attorney General may require the emergency production of 
     tangible things if the Attorney General--
       ``(A) reasonably determines that an emergency situation 
     requires the production of tangible things before an order 
     authorizing such production can with due diligence be 
     obtained;
       ``(B) reasonably determines that the factual basis for the 
     issuance of an order under this section to approve such 
     production of tangible things exists;
       ``(C) informs, either personally or through a designee, a 
     judge having jurisdiction under this section at the time the 
     Attorney General requires the emergency production of 
     tangible things that the decision has been made to employ the 
     authority under this subsection; and
       ``(D) makes an application in accordance with this section 
     to a judge having jurisdiction under this section as soon as 
     practicable, but not later than 7 days after the Attorney 
     General requires the emergency production of tangible things

       ``(3) In the absence of a judicial order approving the 
     production of tangible things under this subsection, the 
     production shall terminate when the information sought is 
     obtained, when the application for the order is denied, or 
     after the expiration of 7 days from the time the Attorney 
     General begins requiring the emergency production of such 
     tangible things, whichever is earliest.
       ``(4) A denial of the application made under this 
     subsection may be reviewed as provided in section 103.
       ``(5) If such application for approval is denied, or in any 
     other case where the production of tangible things is 
     terminated and no order is issued approving the production, 
     no information obtained or evidence derived from such 
     production shall be received in evidence or otherwise 
     disclosed in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding in or 
     before any court, grand jury, department, office, agency, 
     regulatory body, legislative committee, or other authority of 
     the United States, a State, or a political subdivision 
     thereof, and no information concerning any United States 
     person acquired from such production shall subsequently be 
     used or disclosed in any other manner by Federal officers or

     requirements of paragraph (5).''.
       (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 501(d) (50 U.S.C. 
     1861(d)) is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (1)--

  Mr. LEE. First, I thank my distinguished colleague, the senior 
Senator from Vermont, for his leadership on this issue. I am pleased to 
join him as a cosponsor of this legislation. As the lead cosponsor of 
this bill, I attest to the fact that this is an issue that is neither 
Republican nor Democratic, it is neither liberal nor conservative, it 
is simply American.
  It is a fundamental concept of liberty that we have to control the 
government. The government and the immense power of government has 
expanded over time with advances in technology. Our country certainly 
has changed to an enormous degree over the centuries since James 
Madison penned our Bill of Rights. But the protection of liberty 
afforded by the Fourth Amendment has only become more important, not 
less important, as the government's ability to collect information has 
advanced.
  This legislation, which has broad-based bipartisan support, is 
absolutely necessary. It can be implemented in a way that will still 
allow the government to protect us. It will also protect us from the 
risk of overreach by the government.
  We have to remember it is not just the government that we have in 
place today, even if we assume, for purposes of this discussion, that 
everyone who works for the government, every government agent who 
participates in the collection of this information is doing what is 
right. We can't always assume that will be the case in the future.
  I see my time has expired. I once again thank my colleague, the 
senior Senator from Vermont, Mr. Leahy, for his sponsorship of this 
legislation. I urge my colleagues to join us in this effort.
  Mr. FRANKEN. Mr. President, I rise to talk about the transparency 
provisions in the USA FREEDOM Act. I am a proud cosponsor of Chairman 
Leahy's bill, and I am particularly proud to have written the key 
transparency provisions with my friend Senator Dean Heller of Nevada.
  Senator Lee is right. This is not a Republican bill or a Democratic 
bill. This isn't a Republican issue or a Democratic issue. I thank 
Senator Lee for his leadership. Of course, we are all indebted to 
Senator Leahy for his leadership on this issue.
  Because of time constraints, I am not going to be able to give the 
speech I wanted to, so I will try to ask for time for tomorrow. I know 
today's floor is very busy.
  I wish to say it is very important that there is enough transparency 
in our NSA surveillance that Americans can judge for themselves if we 
are striking the right balance between national security and our civil 
liberties.
  Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, today my colleague Senator Leahy, the 
chairman of the Judiciary Committee, introduced legislation that would 
amend the PATRIOT Act. This new legislation reflects a bicameral and 
bipartisan compromise that ends the bulk data collection practices 
currently being used. It also gives our intelligence officials specific 
rules to follow so they can keep the operational capabilities necessary 
to protect the United States from a terrorist attack without 
compromising the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. I thank Senator 
Leahy for his work, and I am grateful for his partnership.
  This important step is necessary for restoring Americans' privacy 
rights which were taken by a well-intended but overreaching Federal 
Government in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
  The expanded authority given to the National Security Agency through 
executive action and the PATRIOT Act was intended to prevent another 
attack on America. While I was not a Member of Congress on 9/11, I 
shared the horror all Nevadans felt watching the murder of thousands of 
innocent Americans, and the profound sadness as buildings in New York 
and Washington, DC, sat smoldering. I understand as well as anyone here 
the reason behind the actions our Nation's leaders took to ensure that 
another attack on America never materialized, and why our leaders felt 
that no limits should be imposed. No matter what the cost, Americans 
had to be protected against another attack.
  Viewing the situation from that lens, it is easy to understand how 
the Fourth Amendment was brushed aside as the Senate expanded law 
enforcement surveillance capabilities with just one dissenting vote.
  The Federal Bureau of Investigation then used section 215 of the 
PATRIOT Act to expand the scope of surveillance far beyond even what 
some of the authors believed they were authorizing. The FBI argued that 
section 215 provided authority to collect phone data of law-abiding 
citizens without their knowledge. Specifically, they could use the 
business records provision to force phone companies to turn over 
millions of telephone calls when there is a reasonable ground or 
relevance to believe that the information sought is relevant to an 
authorized investigation of international terrorism.
  As a result, we now have a bulk collection program in existence where 
telephone companies hand over millions of records to the NSA as part of 
a massive pre-collection database.
  As someone who voted against the PATRIOT Act time and time again, I 
believe such data collection practices are a massive intrusion of our 
privacy, which is why I partnered with the senior Senator from Vermont 
to end these programs. Our legislation tightens the definitions of 
``specific selection term'' for section 215 of the PATRIOT Act and FISA 
pen register trap-and-trace devices so that the information requested 
is limited to specifically identifying a person, account, address, or a 
personal device.
  With this legislation, bulk collection will be eliminated and the 
records will stay with the telephone companies. The massive information 
grabs from the Federal Government based on geography or email service 
will no longer be permissible. And of the information that is 
collected, the legislation imposes new restrictions on its use and 
retention. These reforms will help shift the balance of privacy away 
from the Federal Government and back to the American people.
  I am proud that this bill also includes the Franken-Heller 
Surveillance

Transparency Act of 2013. I was pleased to join Senator Franken on this 
legislation because, at the very least, Americans deserve to know the 
number of people whose information is housed by the NSA. For the first 
time in American history, the government is forced to disclose to the 
American people roughly how many of them have had their communications 
collected.
  Our provision calls for reports by the Director of National 
Intelligence detailing the requests for information authorized under 
the PATRIOT Act and the FISA Amendments Act. The reports would specify 
the total number of people whose information has been collected under 
these programs and how many people living in the United States have had 
their information collected. They would also permit the intelligence 
community to report on how many Americans actually had their 
information looked at by the NSA or any other intelligence agencies.
  Furthermore, these provisions would allow telephone and Internet 
companies to tell consumers basic information regarding FISA court 
orders they receive and the number of users whose information is turned 
over.
  The principles outlined in this bill to increase transparency for 
Americans and private companies would clear up a tremendous amount of 
confusion that exists within the programs. And our private companies 
need the added disclosure. The Information Technology & Innovation 
Foundation estimates that American cloud computing companies could lose 
$22 billion to $35 billion in the next 3 years because of concerns 
about their involvement with surveillance programs. The analytics firm 
Forrester put potential losses much higher, at $180 billion.
  I want to be clear: I share the concerns of all Americans that we 
must protect ourselves against threats to the homeland. I believe 
terrorism is very real and the United States is the target of those 
looking to undermine the freedoms we hold as the core of our national 
identity. If the bulk collection programs in existence were bearing so 
much information to protect the homeland, it would change my opinion on 
the need for the USA Freedom Act. However, the bulk collection program 
has simply not provided the tangible results that justify a privacy 
intrusion of this level. We know this because on October 2, 2013, the 
chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Leahy, asked NSA 
Director Keith Alexander the following question:

       At our last hearing, deputy director Inglis stated that 
     there's only really one example of a case where, but for the 
     use of Section 215 bulk phone records collection, terrorist 
     activity was stopped. Was Mr. Inglis right?

  To which Director Alexander responded:

       He's right. I believe he said two, Chairman.

  Congress has authorized the collection of millions of law-abiding 
citizens' telephone metadata for years and it has only solved two 
ongoing FBI investigations. Of those two investigations, the NSA has 
publicly identified one. In fact, that case could have easily been 
handled by obtaining a warrant and going to the telephone company. It 
is the case of an individual in San Diego who was convicted of sending 
$8,500 to Somalia in support of al-Shabaab, the terrorist organization 
claiming responsibility for the Kenyan mall attack. The American phone 
records allowed the NSA to determine that a U.S. phone was used to 
contact an individual associated with this terrorist organization. I am 
appreciative that the NSA was able to apprehend this individual, but it 
does not provide overwhelming evidence that this program is necessary. 
The Obama administration has come to the same conclusion and so has the 
intelligence community.

  The operational capabilities the intelligence community relies on to 
conduct their mission to keep us safe will not be impacted by the USA 
FREEDOM Act. If it were, the Intelligence Community and the 
administration would not have brokered this compromise legislation. 
Ending the bulk collection programs and giving Americans more 
transparency so they can determine for themselves whether they believe 
these programs should exist is an obligation we have to all of our 
constituents.
  We have a bill introduced today that would give our law enforcement 
authorities the tools they need to keep us safe and also stay true to 
the Fourth Amendment. I encourage my colleagues to support these 
important reforms and I hope it can quickly be considered by this 
Chamber.
