I would like to go back to another point on which the debate has been rather limited. Your second proposal concerns the famous one-year extension of the validity period of a foreign intelligence authorization.
If the activity has already been approved by you at the start and it's just a matter of validation, why is it necessary to ask for permission again for an ongoing activity? Have you taken into account the fact that circumstances are likely to change during the year and that it might make you change your mind, perhaps even to the point where you would not have allowed the mission from the outset if you had known a number of things?
