Congresswoman Houchin on the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act

Washington, D.C. (April 12, 2024) – Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) released the following statement:

“I will always prioritize the security of the American people. That is why I voted for the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISA). RISA includes nearly 60 key reforms that address the serious Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses by the FBI, as well as flaws that existed within the law. With its focus on accountability, transparency, and enhanced oversight, this bill represents the largest set of reforms to FISA since its creation in 1978. It safeguards our national security while upholding our fundamental civil liberties.

At a time when Joe Biden has made us less safe and allowed a wide-open southern border - which has seen gang members, cartel members and individuals on the terror watch list enter our country - we could not allow this critical program to expire.” – Congresswoman Erin Houchin
