required elements, or that the procedures required by
subsections (d) and (e) are not consistent with the
requirements of those subsections or the fourth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States, the Court shall issue
an order directing the Government to, at the Government's

hearing, or other proceeding in or before any court, grand
jury, department, office, agency, regulatory body,
legislative committee, or other authority of the United
States, a State, or political subdivision thereof, and no
information concerning any United States person acquired from
such acquisition shall subsequently be used or disclosed in
any other manner by Federal officers or employees without the
consent of such person, except with the approval of the
Attorney General if the information indicates a threat of
death or serious bodily harm to any person.
``(II) Exception.--If the Government corrects any
deficiency identified by the Court's order under clause (i),
the Court may permit the use or disclosure of information
acquired before the date of the correction pursuant to such
