United States v. Martinez-Fuerte, 428 U.S.

S:- Ct. 3074 (1976) (cars may be stopped without probable cause
bra warrant for a brief scrutiny, so long as the overall pro-
,·. gram of stopping cars is reasonable and productive); Camara v.
Municipal Court, 387 U.S. 523 (1967) (warrants to search houses
may be obtained on probable cause to believe that a building
code violation has occurred).
Building on this and similar Supreme Court analyses, the
Administration proposed legislation to provide for the issuance
of a judicial warrant authorizing the use of electronic sur-
veillance in foreign intelligence and foreign counterintelligence
cases.
That legislation would have required proof of probable
cause that the target of the surveillance was a foreign power or
an agent of a foreign power and a submission of a certification
signed by a high level executive official that the information
sought was necessary to the·foreign intelligence or foreign
tounterintelligence needs of the federal government. It also
required the court's review of procedures to minimize the acqui-
sition and retention of extraneous information.
