Director, Administrative Office of the United States Courts
Washington, D.C. 20544

Dear Mr. Meacham:

This report is submitted pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, Title 50, United States Code, Section 1807, as amended.

During calendar year 2001, 932 applications were made to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for electronic surveillance and physical search. The Court approved 934 applications in 2001. Two of the 934 applications were filed with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in December 2000 and approved in January 2001. Two orders and two warrants were modified by the Court. No orders were entered which denied the requested authority.

Sincerely,

Larry D. Thompson
Acting Attorney General
