The House is preparing to vote on a short-term extension of a key federal surveillance program after Senate negotiations stalled, setting up a battle over national security authorities that are set to expire this week.<\/p>\n

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, announced Wednesday that the chamber will vote Thursday morning on a temporary reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, extending the authority through July 2.<\/p>\n

The vote comes ahead of a Friday deadline and follows resistance in the Senate, where Democrats blocked efforts to quickly advance a similar extension.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not having a great amount of confidence that they\u2019re going to be able to get that done,\u201d Johnson said of the Senate. \u201cSo, the House will once again do our job.\u201d<\/p>\n

The push for a short-term extension gained momentum after President Donald Trump urged Congress to act following a meeting with Johnson earlier Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cFISA 702 is very important to our Military, and keeping the American People safe, especially during the World Cup and America250 Celebrations,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf nothing is done, this important Law will expire this week. I am asking Congress to send me a short-term extension of FISA to provide time for the selection and confirmation of a permanent Head of the Agency,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n

Section 702 has long been viewed by intelligence officials as a critical tool for gathering foreign intelligence and monitoring threats to national security.<\/p>\n

However, the effort to extend the program has become entangled in a political dispute over Trump\u2019s appointment of housing official Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence.<\/p>\n

Senate Democrats have insisted they will not support a reauthorization agreement while Pulte remains in the position.<\/p>\n

Johnson must also contend with opposition from conservative Republicans who have repeatedly called for reforms to the surveillance program. Several GOP lawmakers have argued that any extension should include a warrant requirement before federal agencies can access certain information.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he would support the temporary extension, Rep. Tim Burchett, R-TN., said, \u201cprobably not,\u201d citing the lack of a warrant provision.<\/p>\n

If the House measure fails, Section 702 is expected to expire on June 12.<\/p>\n

The timing has concerned supporters of the program because Congress is scheduled to leave Washington for a one-week recess after Thursday\u2019s votes. Unless House leadership changes those plans, lawmakers would not return until June 23.<\/p>\n

The recess would leave the surveillance authority inactive during a period that includes World Cup events expected to attract large international crowds as well as celebrations connected to America\u2019s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n
