Occurrences
Evidence
Axios reported that the House rejected a short-term Section 702 extension on June 11, 2026, leaving FISA reauthorization uncertain and putting the program on the brink of expiration.
The House clerk record for Roll Call 122 shows Harold Rogers (KY) voted Yea on the procedural vote to bring up H.R. 8035, which the page describes as a bill to extend Title VII of FISA through October 20, 2027.

The enrolled public law text amended the prior sunset by replacing April 19, 2024 with two years after enactment of the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act. It was approved April 20, 2024.
The law added FBI query protections including mandatory audits of U.S.-person queries, annual training, additional prior approvals for sensitive queries, written justifications, records, congressional notification for member-of-Congress queries, and limits on queries solely designed to find criminal evidence.

The Guardian reported that a June 11, 2026 House measure to renew Section 702 failed 198-218 and that Republican leaders had tried to forge a compromise for a three-year extension amid civil-liberties concerns.
Assessments
Rogers took concrete same-term action supporting FISA reauthorization and reform: he voted Aye on H.R. 7888, which became Public Law 118-49 and added Section 702-related restrictions, query safeguards, reporting, training, and other civil-liberties protections. But the enacted 2024 law extended Title VII for two years, not the promised three years. His later 2026 votes supported further or short-term extensions, but available evidence through July 2, 2026 shows no enacted three-year extension with reforms. Because a substantial related outcome passed but did not match the promised duration, this is partial rather than delivered.
Rogers took concrete supportive action on FISA reauthorization while in office, including voting for H.R. 7888, which became law in April 2024 and added Section 702-related reforms and civil-liberties protections. That satisfies the reform/protections portion in part, but the enacted law extended Title VII for two years, not the promised three years. His later procedural vote to advance another extension bill shows continued support, but it did not complete the exact promised outcome. Because he materially supported a closely related but not exact result during the same term, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
