UNITED STATES FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE COURT DECLASSIFICATION
             OF SIGNIFICANT DECISION, ORDERS, AND OPINIONS

    The Committee directs the Director of National
Intelligence, in consultation with the Attorney General, to
complete, within one year of the enactment of this Act, a one-
time declassification review of decisions, orders, and opinions
of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court or Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review that predate the USA
Freedom Act, and that include a significant construction or
interpretation of any provision of law. Consistent with that
review, each such decision, order, or opinion shall be released
to the public.
    Provisions of 50 U.S.C. Sec.  1872 shall apply, including
that the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation
with the Attorney General, may satisfy the review requirement
by making each such decision, order, or opinion publicly
available in redacted form; and that the Director of National
Intelligence, in consultation with the Attorney General, may
waive the requirement to declassify and release a particular
decision, order or opinion if, among other things, such waiver
is necessary to protect either the national security of the
United States or properly classified intelligence sources and
methods.
