Vote S2007 -- 309

This legislation amended the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) to include a warrantless surveillance program targeted at communications from people outside of the United States.

The legislation passed with 60% support.

The amendment was defeated by a wide margin.
