    “Please keep up the pressure on members of Congress by encouraging them to continue to fight for the following:
    1. The ability for a Section 215 recipient to pose a meaningful challenge of a FISA Court order.
    2. The ability for a Section 505 recipient to pose a meaningful challenge to a National Security Letter (administrative subpoena).
    3. Language requiring that records sought under a Section 215 order be described with “sufficient particularity” to prevent government fishing expeditions.”
