Congress punts FISA renewal to June

Congress approved a short-term reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, extending the program until June 21 after Senate and House negotiations; the measure is headed to the President to be signed. The extension buys lawmakers time to negotiate a longer-term reauthorization and follows separate disputes over related provisions, including a debated ban on the Federal Reserve issuing a digital currency.
