House passes 3-year FISA reauthorization that will face challenges in the Senate

A 10-day extension of the current authorization expires Thursday, creating urgency for a longer-term solution. Senate leaders indicate they are likely to pursue a shorter, clean 45-day extension instead, due to disagreements over unrelated policy additions in the House version.
