    How should Congress balance the intelligence agencies' need for continuous foreign surveillance authority against the risk of incidentally collecting communications from U.S. citizens?

  2. 02

    What oversight mechanisms or additional safeguards, if any, should accompany a nine-year extension of these surveillance powers?

  3. 03

    Why did Congress choose October 2027 as the expiration date, and what criteria should determine whether these authorities warrant renewal or modification?
