Heading: Foreign Intelligence Information

Text: 48 FISA defines foreign intelligence information in pertinent part as 49 information that relates to, and if concerning a United States person is necessary to, the ability of the United States to protect against— 50 (A) actual or potential attack or other grave hostile acts of a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power; 51 (B) sabotage or international terrorism by a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power; or 52 (C) clandestine intelligence activities by ... an agent of a foreign power.... 53 50 U.S.C.A. § 1801(e)(1). We reject Hammoud's contention that there is no evidence to support the Government's certification regarding the character of the information sought to be obtained through electronic surveillance of Hammoud. The materials submitted in connection with the FISA application warrant a conclusion that the certification was not clearly erroneous.
