Bill expands U S intelligence powers to cover abroad
The Carter administration plans a broader role for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to authorize searches and surveillance of Americans abroad. The court would not judge foreign laws, and international law and host-country rules would continue to govern. The draft charter aims to regulate overseas espionage under existing law, with a Senate Intelligence Committee review and a target mid September introduction in Congress.

Forecasters call it extremely dangerous and expect further strengthening as it moves west about 15 mph, about 400 miles east of Barbados. The comparison to Donna’s deadly 1960s path is noted for context.
