Site Map Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers) Prepared by Lee Tien, Electronic Frontier Foundation Senior Counsel, Sep. 27, 2001 1. What is FISA? 2. What is the purpose of FISA? FISA is aimed at regulating the collection of "foreign intelligence" information in furtherance of U.S. counterintelligence, whether or not any laws were or will be broken. See In short, counterintelligence and criminal prosecution are different. 3. How does FISA fit with regulation of electronic surveillance? Given the "tendency of those who execute the criminal laws . . . to obtain conviction by means of unlawful seizures," the Supreme Court has viewed commumications interception as an especially grave intrusion on rights of privacy and speech. Berger v. New York , 388 U.S. 41, 50 (1967) (quotation and citation omitted). "By its very nature eavesdropping involves an intrusion on privacy that is broad in scope," and its "indiscriminate use . . . in law enforcement raises grave constitutional questions." Id. at 56 (quotation and citation omitted). "Few threats to liberty exist which are greater than those posed by the use of eavesdropping devices." Id. at 63. Thus, the Court outlined seven constitutional requirements: (1) a showing of probable cause that a particular offense has been or is about to be committed; (2) the applicant must describe with particularity the conversations to be intercepted; (3) the surveillance must be for a specific, limited period of time in order to minimize the invasion of privacy (the N.Y. law authorized two months of surveillance at a time); (4) there must be continuing probable cause showings for the surveillance to continue beyond the original termination date; (5) the surveillance must end once the conversation sought is seized; (6) notice must be given unless there is an adequate showing of exigency; and (7) a return on the warrant is required so that the court may oversee and limit the use of the intercepted conversations.

United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (or FISC ) is a U.S. federal court authorized under 50 USC 1803 and established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of (known as FISA for short). Its jurisdiction is to oversee requests for surveillance warrants by federal police agencies (primarily the F.B.I. ) against suspected foreign intelligence agents inside the United States. Each application for one of these surveillance warrant (called a FISA warrant) is made before an individual judge of the court. Like a grand jury , FISC is not an adversarial court : the federal government is the only party to its proceedings. However, the court may allow third parties to submit briefs as amici curiae . If an application is denied by one judge of the FISC, the federal government is not allowed to make the same application to a different judge of the FISC. Instead, denials must be appealed to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review . Such appeals are rare: the first appeal from the FISC to the Court of Review was made in , 24 years after the founding of the FISC.

It was set up to oversee implementation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Judges on that court ruled that the Justice Department is misinterpreting its new powers under the U.S.A. Patriot Act that Congress passed last October. The court said the Justice Department's plan to allow prosecutors to become involved in intelligence investigations goes too far. The court also mandated that whenever an intelligence official wants to talk with a prosecutor, a Justice Department lawyer must participate to ensure nothing improper is said.

Welcome to the website of the Foreign Intelligence Agency Welcome to the website of the Foreign Intelligence Agency. On its pages you will find among others information on the status of the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Agency and the Foreign Intelligence Agency itself, on their tasks and competences, on the organizational structure of the Foreign Intelligence Agency and on conditions of service, principles of recruitment, provisions regulating operations of the Foreign Intelligence Agency as well as indications how to obtain the access to public information referring to some aspects of its operations. Certainly any data made public have a nature of non-confidential information, i.e. information which do not include any contents constituting official or state secrets within meaning of regulations on protection of classified information. Our service, just like many contemporary foreign equivalent authorities, attempts to naturally and effectively find its place in democratic structures of the civic society. A transparency, increased as never before, may serve the aforementioned goal to the extent in which it will not breach any interests of the state security or fundamental operating principles of intelligence service. They always include the following: absolute protection of sources, personnel as well as assets, means and operations of the intelligence service. We understand how important is a guaranteed access to INFORMATION in order to make an optimal decision that is an expression of our mission in relation to the highest state authority bodies of the Republic of Poland. Therefore we believe that providing an easier access to our Agency in practice will among others help us to obtain assistance from domestic natural and legal persons in performance of our tasks executed for purposes of protection of the state external security, which is in fact formally guaranteed in provisions of the Act.

Foreign intelligence In the late 1940s, a special operations organisation was established within the Department of Defence. In 1952 this became the Australian Secret Service. This organisation was transferred from the Department of Defence to the Department of External Affairs in 1954, and became the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS). Although there is a public right of access to ASIS records after 30 years, like ASIO, ASIS generally only transfers records to the National Archives in response to requests from researchers. Few ASIS records are available for public access. All are held by the National Archives in Canberra, and most consist of innocuous items of correspondence or press clippings. These include: Report to the Minister for External Affairs by Brigadier Dudley W Clarke on the use of propaganda, economic warfare, infiltration of agents and other covert action to counter communist subversion in South-East Asia Records created by the Department of Defence relating to the Australian Secret Service include: Establishment of an Australian Secret Service – Joint Intelligence Committee Report No 11/1951 Observations of the Defence Committee on report to the Prime Minister on establishment of an Australian Secret Service Directive for Australian Secret Intelligence Service War planning ...
