Charting the Changes: Statutory Revisions to Section 215 Orders and National Security Letters

From Susan:

I've prepared two charts. One shows the law regarding section 215 orders before the PATRIOT Act, after  the PATRIOT Act, and after the Reauthorization Act. The second chart does the same for national security letters.
Each chart briefly describes the records that can be requested, the standard to issue the order or letter, the requirements for any gag order,  the review process, if any, any special llbrary sections, and the status of any sunset provisions.

Thank you so much for the wonderful synthesis. I feel I have been drowning in a sea of self-referential narrative and legalese.
