SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) It is in the national interest that all citizens, 
        including active-duty service members, be allowed to vote in 
        Federal elections.
            (2) Since 1977, active-duty service members serving 
        overseas or on the United States mainland have been excluded 
        from fully participating and voting in both general and runoff 
        Federal elections in American Samoa due to several factors, 
        including local law that requires active duty military members 
        to register in person, limited air and mail service between the 
        U.S. mainland and American Samoa, and delays in the preparation 
        of new ballots in the case of runoff elections.
            (3) American Samoa law requiring uniformed service voters 
        to register to vote in person is contrary to the Uniformed and 
        Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (42 U.S.C. 1973ff et 
        seq.).
            (4) The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act 
        has been in effect for over 15 years, and American Samoa has 
        not addressed this discrepancy between Federal and territorial 
        law, despite notice that the discrepancy exists.
            (5) It is necessary to take additional action to ensure 
        that the votes of uniformed voters are counted in Federal 
        elections conducted in American Samoa and that active duty 
        service members (including reservists called to active duty) do 
        not need to appear in person to register to vote.
            (6) It is necessary to state that the Uniformed and 
        Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act supersedes American Samoa 
        law and American Samoa must comply with this Federal law.
            (7) It is also in the national interest that, to the extent 
        possible, Members of the United States House of Representatives 
        and non-voting Delegates be elected in the first week of 
        November in even-numbered years.
            (8) Since 1980, when the first election for the 
        Congressional Delegate from American Samoa was held, there have 
        been several general elections at which there was no final 
        resolution of who was elected as the Delegate for the next 
        Congress, and run-off elections were required.
            (9) When the outcome of the Delegate election is not 
        resolved until a runoff election is held, a final determination 
        of who the Delegate will be is not made known until late 
        November.
            (10) A delayed outcome may place a newly elected Delegate 
        in a more junior position to other Members of Congress elected 
        on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November in an 
        election year.
            (11) When more than 2 candidates file to run for election 
        for the office of Delegate, holding a primary election to 
        reduce the number of candidates to 2 will greatly increase the 
        likelihood that the general election will produce a candidate 
        who receives a majority of the votes cast.

SEC. 2. PRIMARY ELECTION REQUIRED.

    Section 2(a) of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide that the 
Territory of American Samoa be represented by a nonvoting Delegate to 
the United States House of Representatives, and for other purposes'', 
approved October 31, 1978 (48 U.S.C. 1732(a)) is amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``(a)''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
    ``(2) In any general election year when 3 or more eligible 
individuals file by the first Tuesday of July as candidates for the 
office of Delegate, a primary election shall be held on the first 
Tuesday of August of that general election year. If the primary 
election results in 1 candidate receiving more than 50 percent of the 
votes cast, then that candidate shall be the only candidate on the 
ballot for the general election for Delegate that year. If the primary 
election results in no candidate receiving more than 50 percent of the 
votes cast, then the 2 candidates receiving the most votes cast shall 
be on the ballot for the general election year. If there is a tie for 
the 2 candidates receiving the most votes, the names of the 2 
candidates shall be listed on the ballot for that general election 
year.
    ``(3) Candidates for the office of Delegate to the United States 
House of Representatives must file their candidacy not later than the 
first Tuesday of July each year that a general election referred to in 
paragraph (1) is scheduled to be held.''.

SEC. 3. CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.

    Section 4 of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide that the 
Territory of American Samoa be represented by a nonvoting Delegate to 
the United States House of Representatives, and for other purposes'', 
approved October 31, 1978 (48 U.S.C. 1734), is amended by inserting 
``in a general Federal election'' after ``ties between candidates''.

SEC. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    The amendments made by this Act shall take effect on January 1, 
2003.

Ex Output:
Declares that it is necessary to state that the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act supersedes American Samoa law and American Samoa must comply with it.Requires a primary election to be held in American Samoa on the first Tuesday of August of any general election year when three or more eligible individuals have filed by the first Tuesday of July as candidates for the office of Delegate representing American Samoa in the U.S. House of Representatives.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Ending Secret Law Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Secret law is inconsistent with democratic governance. 
        In order for the rule of law to prevail, the requirements of 
        the law must be publicly discoverable.
            (2) The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh 
        Circuit stated in 1998 that the ``idea of secret laws is 
        repugnant''.
            (3) The open publication of laws and directives is a 
        defining characteristic of government of the United States. The 
        first Congress of the United States mandated that every ``law, 
        order, resolution, and vote [shall] be published in at least 
        three of the public newspapers printed within the United 
        States''.
            (4) The practice of withholding decisions of the Foreign 
        Intelligence Surveillance Court is at odds with the United 
        States tradition of open publication of law.
            (5) The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court 
        acknowledges that such Court has issued legally significant 
        interpretations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 
        1978 (50 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) that are not accessible to the 
        public.
            (6) The exercise of surveillance authorities under the 
        Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1801 
        et seq.), as interpreted by secret court opinions, potentially 
        implicates the communications of United States persons who are 
        necessarily unaware of such surveillance.
            (7) Section 501 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance 
        Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1861), as amended by section 215 of the 
        USA PATRIOT Act (Public Law 107-56; 115 Stat. 287), authorizes 
        the Federal Bureau of Investigation to require the production 
        of ``any tangible things'' and the extent of such authority, as 
        interpreted by secret court opinions, has been concealed from 
        the knowledge and awareness of the people of the United States.
            (8) In 2010, the Department of Justice and the Office of 
        the Director of National Intelligence established a process to 
        review and declassify opinions of the Foreign Intelligence 
        Surveillance Court, but more than two years later no 
        declassifications have been made.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that each decision, order, or opinion 
issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court or the Foreign 
Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review that includes significant 
construction or interpretation of section 501 or section 702 of the 
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1861 and 
1881a) should be declassified in a manner consistent with the 
protection of national security, intelligence sources and methods, and 
other properly classified and sensitive information.

SEC. 4. REQUIREMENT FOR DISCLOSURE OF DECISIONS, ORDERS, AND OPINIONS 
              OF THE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE COURT.

    (a) Section 501.--
            (1) In general.--Section 501 of the Foreign Intelligence 
        Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1861) is amended by adding

            ``(4) Unclassified report.--Notwithstanding paragraphs (2)

        under paragraph (3), the Attorney General shall make available 
        to the public an unclassified report on the status of the 
        internal deliberations and process regarding the 
        declassification by personnel of Executive branch of such 
        decisions. Such report shall include--

                remain classified to protect the national security of 
                the United States.''.
            (2) Section 702.--Section 702(l) of the Foreign 
        Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1881a(l)) is 
        amended by adding at the end the following:
            ``(4) Disclosure of decisions.--
