Newly Declassified Documents Regarding the Now-Discontinued NSA Bulk Electronic Communications Metadata Pursuant to Section 402 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
"Following a declassification review by the Executive Branch, the Department of Justice released on August 6, 2014, in redacted form, 38 documents relating to the now-discontinued NSA [National Security Agency] program to collect bulk electronic communications metadata pursuant to Section 402 of the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]. […] Under the program NSA was permitted to collect certain electronic communications metadata such as the 'to,' 'from,' and 'cc' lines of an email and the email's time and date. This collection was done only after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court [FISC] approved the government's applications, and pursuant to court order generally lasting 90 days. NSA was not permitted to collect the content of any electronic communications. Like NSA's bulk telephony metadata program under FISA section 501, this program was subject to several restrictions approved by the FISC, such as: [1] The information could be used only for counterterrorism purposes. [2] The information had to be stored in secure databases. [3] The databases could be queried using an identifier such as an email address only when an analyst had a reasonable and articulable suspicion that the email address was associated with certain specified foreign terrorist organizations that were the subject of FBI counterterrorism investigations. […] [4] NSA was required to destroy the bulk metadata after a set period of time."

DNI Clapper Declassifies Additional Intelligence Community Documents Regarding Collection Under Section 501 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [November 18, 2013]
From the Office of the Director of National Intelligence: "In June of this year, President Obama directed me to declassify and make public as much information as possible about certain sensitive intelligence collection programs undertaken under the authority of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) while being mindful of the need to protect national security. Consistent with this directive, in September 2013, I authorized the declassification and public release of a number of documents pertaining to the Government's collection of bulk telephony metadata under Section 501 of the FISA, as amended by Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Section 215). Today I am authorizing the declassification and public release of a number of additional documents relating to collection under Section 215. These documents were properly classified, and their declassification is not done lightly. I have determined, however, that the harm to national security from the release of these documents is outweighed by the public interest."

Statement by Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper on Allegations of Economic Espionage [September 8, 2013]
"It is not a secret that the Intelligence Community collects information about economic and financial matters, and terrorist financing. We collect this information for many important reasons: for one, it could provide the United States and our allies early warning of international financial crises which could negatively impact the global economy. It also could provide insight into other countries' economic policy or behavior which could affect global markets. Our collection of information regarding terrorist financing saves lives. Since 9/11, the Intelligence Community has found success in disrupting terror networks by following their money as it moves around the globe. International criminal organizations, proliferators of weapons of mass destruction, illicit arms dealers, or nations that attempt to avoid international sanctions can also be targeted in an effort to aid America's and our allies' interests. What we do not do, as we have said many times, is use our foreign intelligence capabilities to steal the trade secrets of foreign companies on behalf of - or give intelligence we collect to - US companies to enhance their international competitiveness or increase their bottom line. As we have said previously, the United States collects foreign intelligence - just as many other governments do - to enhance the security of our citizens and protect our interests and those of our allies around the world. The intelligence Community's efforts to understand economic systems and policies and monitor anomalous economic activities is critical to providing policy makers with the information they need to make informed decisions that are in the best interest of our national security."

Wildlife Poaching Threatens Economic, Security Priorities in Africa
"Increased demand for ivory and rhino horn in Asia stems from a rapidly expanding wealthy class that views both commodities as luxury goods that enhance social status as well as a growing number of ready buyers within Africa who serve as dealers to clients in Asia. Increased demand for ivory and rhino horn triggered rapid upticks in poaching in Africa in 2011 and 2012, with similar trends predicted for 2013. Criminal elements of all kinds, including some terrorist entities and rogue security personnel, often in collusion with government officials in source countries are involved in poaching and movement of ivory and rhino horn across east, central, and southern Africa. We assess with high confidence that traffickers use sophisticated networks and the complicity of public officials in order to move ivory and rhino horn from relatively remote areas to markets and ports of export, perpetuating corruption and border insecurity in key eastern, central and southern African states. We judge some of these networks probably are the same or overlap with those of other illicit goods such as drugs and weapons. Poaching presents significant security challenges for militaries and police forces in African nations (e.g. Kenya, Tanzania, Congo-Kinshasa, South Africa, and others), which are often outgunned by poachers and their criminal and extremist allies. Corruption and lack of sufficient penal and financial deterrents are hampering these governments' abilities to reduce poaching and trafficking. Material and training, legal, and diplomatic support probably could have a significant impact on the trajectory of the illicit rhino horn and ivory trades, and would also represent a relatively cost-effective way to gain new insights into the behavior of implicated criminal groups and associated trafficking networks. However, the widespread complicity of military and government officials in the trade hinders potential partnerships."

Summary of the Reengagement of Detainees Formerly Held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
"Based on trends identified during the past ten years, we assess that if additional detainees are transferred without conditions from GTMO [Guantanamo Bay], some will reengage in terrorist or insurgent activities. Transfers to countries with ongoing conflicts and internal instability as well as active recruitment by insurgent and terrorist organizations pose a particular problem."

DNI James Clapper's Cover Letter Announcing the Document Release
This is the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper's cover letter to announce the release of newly-declassified documents, as summarized by the DNI Press Release dated August 21, 2013. "In June of this year, President Obama directed the Director of National intelligence to declassify and make public as much information as possible about certain sensitive programs while being mindful of the need to protect sensitive classified intelligence activities and national security. Consistent with this directive, the Director of National Intelligence has today authorized the declassification and public release of a number of documents pertaining to the Government's collection under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). These documents were properly classified, and their declassification is not done lightly. The Director of National Intelligence has determined, however, that the harm to national security in these circumstances is outweighed by the public interest. The documents released today are a testament to the government's strong commitment to detecting, correcting, and reporting mistakes, and to continually improving its oversight and compliance processes. […] Today we are releasing two FISA Court opinions, and a portion of a third, making redactions only when necessary to protect classified intelligence activities. These opinions provide additional context to statements declassified by the Government and made by Senator Wyden in July 2012 that the Court had concluded on one occasion that NSA's [National Security Advisory] implementation of Section 702 was inconsistent with FISA and the Fourth Amendment." Other documents released included: 2011 NSA minimization procedures, Congressional 702 White Papers, and Compliance and Oversight program documents.

DNI Clapper has determined that the release of these documents is in the public interest." From the document: "A verified application having been made by the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for an order pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (the Act), Title 50, United States Code (U.S.C.), § 1861, as amended, requiring the production to the National Security Agency (NSA) of the tangible things described below, and full consideration having been given to the matters set forth therein, the Court finds as follows: 1. There are reasonable grounds to believe that the tangible things sought are relevant to authorized investigations (other than threat assessments) being conducted by the FBI under guidelines approved by the Attorney General under Executive Order 12333 to protect against international terrorism, which investigations are not being conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. [50 U.S.C. § 1861(c)(1)] 2. The tangible things sought could be obtained with a subpoena duces tecum issued by a court of the United States in aid of a grand jury investigation or with any other order issued by a court of the United States directing the production of records or tangible things. [50 U.S.C. § 1861(c)(2)(D)] 3. The application includes an enumeration of the minimization procedures the government proposes to follow with regard to the tangible things sought. Such procedures are similar to the minimization procedures approved and adopted as binding by the order of this Court in Docket Number [...] and its predecessors. [50 U.S.C. § 1861(c)(1)]".

Natural Resources in 2020,2030, and 2040: Implications for the United States
This report focuses on the, "Access to and control of natural resources has long underpinned the growth of human societies, determining not only the locations of civilizations but also the shape of economies and political institutions. Many have also argued that the struggle for the control of resources has been a major driver of conflicts across the ages. Today, intensified resource stresses are anticipated to bring new risks and uncertainties to international relations in an already turbulent world. Resource risks are coming atop of socio-economic pressures created by rapid urbanization as well as shifting global economic power, adding another layer of uncertainty. Resource consumption patterns are driven by a range of factors: demographics and economic development are increasing demand, technology influences the costs and nature of both supply and demand, while environmental and social pressures add to the burden on both producer and consumer countries. No one knows whether today's domestic and transnational institutions, market systems and multinational arrangements will be able to cope with these rising resource stresses. Resource pressures interact in a complex but often self-reinforcing manner. There are common factors of production--energy, water, and land in particular--which affect many other resource categories. A rise in energy prices, for example, influences food prices via fertilizer and distribution costs, and substitution via biofuels. The macro-economic consequence is either inflation--greatest in poorer countries where food is a larger component of overall spending--or a hit on government budgets where subsidies shield the consumer from food price rises. In other cases the resources are in competition. Land that could be used for food production may be given over to urbanization and biofuels, while power generation, agriculture, industry, and an emerging middle class put pressure on limited water resources. Distortive subsidies and a failure to price in other indirect social costs, increase complexity. A further layer of interconnection among resources emanates from their joint dependence on stable transportation infrastructure as well as the trading and political relations required to maintain them."

DNI Clapper: Defunding FISA Business Records Program Risks Dismantling Important Intelligence Tool [July 24, 2013]
From the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI): "As the House of Representatives prepares to vote today on legislation to limit the authority exercised by the National Security Agency pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA] and court order, I join others who caution that acting in haste to defund the FISA Business Records program risks dismantling an important intelligence tool. I support the positions of the House Intelligence Committee Chairman and Ranking Member, as well as that of the Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman and Vice Chairman, in their call for an open and candid discussion about foreign surveillance authorities and careful consideration of the potential effect of limiting the Intelligence Community's capabilities under these authorities. As the head of the Intelligence Community, my top priority is to provide policy makers the most meaningful intelligence possible while always abiding by the rule of law and respecting the civil liberties and privacy of every American. I remain hopeful that as we continue to discuss foreign intelligence activities in Congress and across the nation, we will make decisions that address the concerns of the public while preserving our ability to protect our nation."
