President Bush on Wednesday announced the "National Security
Service," to be organized under the FBI:

Also, at the same time, he endorsed this proposal:

President Bush supports extending the duration of electronic
surveillance in cases involving agents of foreign powers who are not
U.S. persons.
More details:

The President should seek to have the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act (FISA) amended to extend the duration of electronic
surveillance and "pen registers" in cases involving agents of foreign
powers who are not U.S. persons.
Extending the duration of FISA orders for non-U.S. person agents of
foreign powers will result in a substantial savings of resources and
permit the Department of Justice (DOJ) to focus more time and
attention on other FISA matters where U.S. persons are involved. DOJ
has already proposed legislation that would extend the duration not
only for electronic surveillance and pen register orders, but also
physical search orders in cases involving agents of foreign powers
who are not U.S. persons. This proposed legislation has been shared
with appropriate Committees of the House and Senate.
