Wilson Statement on Terrorist Surveillance Ruling January 17, 2007
 
Washington, DC – Congresswoman Heather Wilson, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, today issued the following statement:

“A single judge in a secret proceeding has given programmatic approval to the President’s terrorist surveillance program. This programmatic approval does not have the protections for civil liberties contained in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or in my legislation that passed the House last year. The onus is now on the Democrat leadership in the Congress to send the President legislation that allows our intelligence agencies to use the tools they need to keep us safe while protecting civil liberties for the long term. We should restore Congress` oversight role and fix the statute. I will be reintroducing legislation that will do this.”
