House lawmakers moved forward with another push to consider legislation that would reauthorize a powerful surveillance authority, the day after the House rejected a rule that would have set up the terms of floor consideration of the last version.
The House Rules Committee on Thursday approved a rule for floor consideration as soon as Friday on another version of legislation to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is set to expire April 19.
This latest version would reauthorize Section 702 for two years, among other changes. The previous version would have done so for five years.
