House Panel Endorses Controversial Spy Bill From <http://news.com.com/House+panel+endorses+controversial+spy+bill/2100-1028_3 -6117920.html?tag=nefd.top> CNet, September 20, 2006 By a 20-to-16 vote mostly along party lines, the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee backed an amended version of the Electronic Surveillance Modernization Act of 2006, a Republican-sponsored measure introduced in July. Two Republicans and all 14 Democrats present rejected the proposal. "This legislation is a priority for the president and critical to our national efforts to detect and disrupt acts of terrorism before they occur," said Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner, who co-sponsored the controversial bill with Rep. Heather Wilson, a New Mexico Republican. Supporters said the bill's provisions would aid terrorist investigations by relaxing the requirements for warrants to conduct electronic surveillance and addressing modern communications in a "technology neutral" way not foreseen by the 28-year-old Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
