众议院在周五凌晨就一项关键外国情报监控计划的短期延长方案达成一致，此前该计划的长期延期投票让共和党领导层遭遇两场尴尬的议会失利。
这项将《外国情报监控法》第702条延期至4月30日的法案现已送交参议院审议。该监控计划将于三天后到期。
共和党领导层曾在周四晚间认为，他们已与那些长期以来深刻担忧第702条侵犯美国民众隐私权的保守派顽固议员达成协议。该协议原本会将美国的间谍权力延长五年，但会对该计划做出一些调整。
众议院在周五凌晨的投票中否决了该协议的核心内容，随后又否决了一项推进该计划18个月无附加条款延期的程序性投票。
《外国情报监控法》第702条允许美国经授权官员收集外国目标的电话和短信数据，但在此过程中也可能收集到美国民众的数据。
多年来，美国高级国家安全官员都表示，这项法律对于挫败恐怖袭击、遏制芬太尼流入美国以及阻止针对关键基础设施的勒索软件攻击至关重要。而左右两派的公民自由团体则认为，这项监控权力存在侵犯美国民众隐私的风险。
特朗普政府本周全程支持无附加条款的延期计划，总统唐纳德·特朗普本周在社交媒体上多次敦促共和党议员支持18个月的延期授权。共和党领导层和白宫也与保守派顽固议员进行了长时间的谈判。
但这些谈判不足以争取到部分共和党隐私鹰派议员的支持。领导层与顽固议员达成的协议在议会投票中失败，随后有20名共和党议员协助否决了推进18个月无附加条款延期授权的提案。
周五上午离开众议院会议厅时，议长迈克·约翰逊告诉记者，为期10天的延期将为议员们留出更多时间来解决分歧。
“我们今晚已经非常接近达成共识了，”约翰逊说，“在措辞上还有一些细微差别，还有一些问题需要解答，我们会搞定的。这次延期让我们有时间去完成这件事。”
这位议长称《外国情报监控法》是一项“关键的国家安全工具”，并告诉记者：“我们努力的目标是做到两全其美：既要保留这项保障美国民众安全的必要工具，也要维护我们的宪法权利，确保过去《外国情报监控法》被滥用的情况不再发生。”
“关于如何实现这一目标存在许多不同的意见，很难做到尽善尽美，但我们会搞定的，”约翰逊说。
美国有线电视新闻网此前援引现任和前任官员的报道称，在该计划即将到期的最后几天里，鉴于美国与伊朗之间脆弱的停火协议，美国国家安全官员已紧急准备应对情报收集可能出现的盲区。

House approves short-term extension of key surveillance law after dealing GOP leadership pair of floor defeats

The House agreed early Friday morning on a short-term extension of a critical foreign surveillance program after dealing Republican leadership a pair of embarrassing floor defeats on a longer-term reauthorization.
The measure to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act through April 30 now goes to the Senate for passage. The program is set to expire in three days.
Republican leaders believed Thursday night that they had struck a deal with conservative holdouts who harbor deep and longstanding concerns that Section 702 infringes on Americans’ privacy rights. The deal would have extended the nation’s spy powers for five years but with some changes to the program.
The House rejected the substance of the deal during an early Friday morning vote – then later blocked a procedural vote to advance an 18-month, clean extension of the program.
Section 702 of FISA allows authorized US officials to gather phone calls and text messages of foreign targets, but they can also collect the data of Americans in the process.
Senior national security officials have for years said the law is critical for thwarting terror attacks, stemming the flow of fentanyl into the US and stopping ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure. Civil liberties groups on the left and the right, meanwhile, argue the surveillance authority risks infringing on Americans’ privacy.
The Trump administration had all week thrown its support behind a clean extension, with President Donald Trump repeatedly imploring Republicans on social media this week to back an 18-month reauthorization. GOP leaders and the White House were also engaged in lengthy talks with conservative holdouts.
But those negotiations were not enough to win over some of the GOP’s privacy hawks. The deal leadership negotiated with holdouts failed on the floor, and 20 Republicans later helped block the 18-month clean reauthorization from advancing.
While leaving the House chamber on Friday morning, Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that the 10-day extension gives lawmakers more time to hammer out their differences.
“We were very close tonight,” Johnson said. “There’s some nuances with language and some questions that need to be answered, and we’ll get it done. The extension allows us the time to do that.”
The speaker called FISA a “critical national security tool” and told reporters, “What we’re trying to do is thread the needle of ensuring that we have this essential tool to keep Americans safe, but also safeguard our constitutional rights and making sure that the abuses of FISA in the past are no longer possible.”
“There are many different opinions on how to do it and it’s very difficult to make it perfect, but we’ll get it done,” Johnson said.
CNN previously reported, citing current and former officials, that with just days to go before the lapse, US national security officials have scrambled to prepare for potential blind spots in intelligence collection amid the US’ delicate ceasefire with Iran.
