Excerpt: “The ASTR provides the public statistics and contextual information regarding the scope of the government’s use of FISA authorities, National Security Letters, and other national security authorities. The report also provides insights into the multi-layered oversight framework that governs the IC and which is designed to protect the civil liberties and privacy of persons whose information is acquired pursuant to these national security authorities. By providing statistics along with explanatory narratives, the IC endeavors to enhance public understanding of intelligence activities.”
