(CNN) The House on Wednesday voted to reauthorize three national security surveillance authorities following a rare bipartisan agreement struck ahead of a Sunday deadline when the provisions are set to expire. The legislation now heads to the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is hoping for quick passage of the House bill — something that will ultimately be up to opponents of the measure. Lofgren and Nadler previously clashed over the FISA bill, as she proposed amendments when the Judiciary Committee was set to mark up the measure last month that prompted Nadler to scrap the markup. But Republican opponents of FISA blasted the bill as not going far enough after it was released on Tuesday. "The House FISA deal doesn't fix what's wrong with FISA," Lee tweeted.
