House passes surveillance bill after rare bipartisan deal

(CNN)The House on Wednesday voted to reauthorize three national security surveillance authorities following a rare bipartisan agreement struck ahead of a Sunday deadline when the provisions are set to expire.

The legislation includes new privacy protections to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, as well as changes to the FISA court system to address misconduct over the surveillance warrants for former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, which came under fire from Republicans and President Donald Trump. The House approved the measure with a broad, bipartisan majority, 278-136.
The legislation now heads to the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is hoping for quick passage of the House bill — something that will ultimately be up to opponents of the measure.

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
