华盛顿讯—— 参议院周四通过了一项关键监控权限延期法案，该法案允许美国情报机构无需搜查令即可对外国目标进行监控。这是国会与众议院就这项即将到期的监控项目反复拉锯后的最新进展。
这项被称为《外国情报监控法》第702条的监控项目，若参众两院均不通过延期法案，将于周五凌晨12点失效。特朗普政府和国会两党议员均认为，第702条是维护国家安全的关键工具，该条款失效将导致情报机构无法及时掌握全球范围内的威胁。
参议员们一致通过了将该监控项目延期45天的法案。该延期法案现已提交众议院审议。
第702条原本定于4月20日到期，但在该权限即将失效前不久，参众两院同意将截止日期延后10天。
众议院周三通过了一项为期三年的延期法案，但该法案包含一项禁止中央银行数字货币的条款。众议院领导层加入该条款是为了安抚保守派持反对意见的议员，其中许多人反对在不对该监控项目进行改革的情况下延长第702条的有效期。支持改革的人士要求增设一项条款，要求执法部门在查询因外国情报收集而被顺带获取的美国公民通信内容时，必须获得搜查令。
但参议院认为这项中央银行数字货币禁令是一个“致命附加条款”，多数党领袖约翰·图恩称其为“毒药丸”。因此，参议院转而推进45天的短期延期法案，以争取时间达成更广泛的协议。
参议院的此次投票意味着众议院必须在午夜前通过这项短期延期法案，否则第702条将正式失效。参众两院下周均将休会，这进一步加大了在当日达成协议的压力。
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊当天早些时候表示，众议院将等待参议院的表决结果。
“我们已经完成了自己的工作，参议院需要完成他们的工作，”约翰逊说道，同时他也承认随着议员们陆续离城，参会人数可能难以保障。“今天是我们的最后一个立法日，”他补充道，并警告称如果无法在当日结束前解决这一问题，他“将会让所有人火速离场”。

Senate passes another short-term FISA extension, hours before deadline
April 30, 2026 / 3:23 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington— The Senate on Thursday passed an extension of a key surveillance authority that allows U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on foreigners without a warrant, the latest in a back-and-forth with the House over the expiring program.
The program, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, is set to expire at 12 a.m. Friday without an extension by both chambers. The Trump administration and members of both parties in Congress argue that Section 702 is a key national security tool, and that its lapse would leave intelligence agencies in the dark about threats around the world.
Senators unanimously approved a bill that would extend the program for 45 days. The extension now goes to the House.
Section 702 was initially set to expire on April 20, but both chambers agreed to push the deadline back 10 days shortly before the authority lapsed.
The House passed a three-year extension on Wednesday, but the bill included a provision that would ban a central bank digital currency. House leaders added that language to placate conservative holdouts, many of whom oppose extending Section 702 without reforms to the program. Proponents of reforms have demanded a requirement that law enforcement obtain a warrant to search U.S. citizens’ communications that get swept up in foreign intelligence collection.
But the ban on a central bank digital currency is a nonstarter in the Senate, where Majority Leader John Thune has called it a “poison pill.” Instead, the upper chamber moved forward with the 45-day extension to buy time to reach a broader agreement.
The Senate’s move means the House must also approve the short-term extension before midnight to prevent Section 702 from lapsing. Both chambers are on recess next week, adding to the pressure to get a deal done.
House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated earlier in the day that the lower chamber would wait to see what the Senate produces.
“We have done our job. The Senate needs to do theirs,” Johnson said, while acknowledging attendance could become difficult as lawmakers leave town. “This is our last legislative day,” he added, warning that he “will have a jailbreak” if the issue isn’t resolved before the end of the day.
