The bill was cosponsored by nine Senators: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_Bayh" title="Birch Bayh" rel="external nofollow">Birch Bayh</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_O._Eastland" title="James O.

</p>

<p>
	The FISA resulted from extensive investigations by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate#Committees" title="United States Senate" rel="external nofollow">Senate Committees</a> into the legality of domestic <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_(information_gathering)" title="Intelligence (information gathering)" rel="external nofollow">intelligence</a> activities.
