DNI Clapper declassifies dozens of new NSA/FISA docs

"Today I authorized the declassification and public release of
additional documents relating to collection under Section 501,
bringing the total to nearly 2000 pages of documents released to the
public so far, including 20 orders and opinions of the Foreign
Surveillance Court, 11 pleadings and other documents submitted to the
Court, 24 documents provided to Congress, and 20 reports, training
slides, and other internal documents describing the legal basis for
the programs and how they operate. The information released today
includes a number of internal NSA documents, training slides and
internal guidance, which demonstrate the care with which NSA's foreign
intelligence collection pursuant to Section 501 is run, managed, and
overseen. Also included is the United States Signals Intelligence
Directive 18 which details policies and procedures to ensure NSA's
missions and functions are conducted in a manner that safeguards the
constitutional rights of U.S persons, and two opinions from the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court concerning a now-discontinued
NSA bulk electronic communications metadata program. These documents
were properly classified and their declassification was not done
lightly."
