      "title": "Security and Freedom Ensured Act (SAFE Act)(H.R. 1526) and Security and Freedom Enhancement Act (SAFE Act)(S. 737): Section By Section Analysis",
      "summary": "Two SAFE Acts,  S. 737  and  H.R. 1526  address some of the issues raised\nby the USA PATRIOT Act. They amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to require\nthat FISA surveillance orders particularly identify either the target or the facilities or places targeted. \nThey limit delayed notification of sneak and peek searches to cases involving exigent circumstances\n(injury, flight, destruction of evidence, witness intimidation risks) and cap the extent of permissible\ndelay. Both bills restrict FISA access orders to instances where there are specific and articulable\nreasons to believe that the records pertain to a foreign power or one or more of its agents. \n \n  S. 737  alone provides that the order may be no more sweeping than a grand jury\nsubpoena duces tecum issued in the context of an espionage or international terrorism investigation. \nIt also adds: exceptions and time limits to the nondisclosure feature, a procedure to allow a recipient\nto quash or modify an order, and use provisions comparable to those that apply to the use of\ninformation generated by FISA surveillance and physical search orders.  H.R. 1526 \nexempts libraries from the national security letter (nsl) coverage of 18 U.S.C.  2709, and adds section\n505 of the USA PATRIOT Act to the list of provisions that expire on December 31, 2005. \n S. 737  rewrites each of the four nsl statutes with enhanced standards, time limits, gag\norder restrictions, scope, and suppression features. \n \n Both bills incorporate the definition of federal crimes of terrorism into the definition of\ndomestic terrorism. \n \n  S. 737  expands the safeguards associated with the court approved use of pen\nregisters and trap and trace devices.  H.R. 1526  adds four sections to the inventory of\nexpiring USA PATRIOT Act sections (213 (delayed notice of sneak and peek searches), 216 (trap\nand trace devices and pen registers for law enforcement purpose), 219 (boundless service of\nterrorism search warrants), and 505 (national security letters)). S.  737 amends FISA to\nrequire more extensive public reports concerning its use.\n \n This report appears in abridged form as  CRS Report RS22140 ,  The SAFE Acts of 2005: H.R.\n 1526 and S.  737 -- A Sketch .",
