President George W. Bush discusses the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act legislation Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2007, on the South Lawn. "Today, the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees are considering a proposed bill that instead of making the Protect America Act permanent would take us backward. While the House bill is not final, my administration has serious concerns about some of its provisions, and I am hopeful that the deficiencies in the bill can be fixed."
