                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1041]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1041, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of the Senate 
amendment to the bill H.R. 3773, the ``FISA Amendments Act of 
2008.'' The resolution provides that it is in order for the 
chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary to make a motion 
that the House concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 3773 with 
the amendment printed in this report.
    The resolution waives all points of order against the 
motion except those arising under clause 10 of rule XXI. The 
resolution provides that the Senate amendment and the motion 
shall be considered as read. It further provides that the 
motion shall be debatable for one hour, with 40 minutes equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on the Judiciary and 20 minutes equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. 
Finally, the resolution provides that, notwithstanding the 
operation of the previous question, the Chair may postpone 
further consideration of the motion to a time designated by the 
Speaker.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against the 
motion (except those arising under clause 10 of rule XXI), the 
Committee is not aware of any points of order against the 
motion. The waiver of all points of order against the motion 
(except those arising under clause 10 of rule XXI) is 
prophylactic in nature.

  SUMMARY OF THE HOUSE AMENDMENT TO THE SENATE AMENDMENT TO H.R. 3773

    The Amendment provides for flexible surveillance of 
terrorists and other targets overseas who may be communicating 
with Americans. Under the Amendment, surveillance programs can 
begin following court approval of procedures to ensure that 
Americans are not targeted and that intercepted communications 
are handled properly. It requires a court order based on 
probable cause in order to conduct surveillance against 
Americans at home and overseas. The Amendment provides for 
oversight by the Court, the Congress, and the independent 
Inspectors General, and confirms that the Foreign Intelligence 
Surveillance Act remains the exclusive means of conducting 
foreign intelligence surveillance.
    The Amendment provides prospective liability protection for 
telecommunications companies that provide lawful assistance to 
the government. It addresses past activities under the 
President's Terrorist Surveillance Program by freeing telephone 
companies to argue existing defenses before the court in 
pending lawsuits, notwithstanding the Government's assertion of 
the state secrets doctrine.
    Finally, the Amendment establishes a bipartisan 
commission--with subpoena power--to investigate and report to 
the American people on the Administration's warrantless 
surveillance activities.
