Remarks by the President on Review of Signals Intelligence

Third, we will provide additional protections for activities conducted under Section 702, which allows the government to intercept the communications of foreign targets overseas who have information that‘s important for our national security. Specifically, I am asking the Attorney General and DNI to institute reforms that place additional restrictions on government‘s ability to retain, search, and use in criminal cases, communications between Americans and foreign citizens incidentally collected under Section 702.
