I think so, it appears to be the primary bill that was discussed this morning: http://clerk.house.gov/floorsummary/floor.aspx?day=20180111&...

The Amash amendment was also to this bill.

Here is a pamphlet comparing S. 139 with the Amash/USA Rights Act Amendment: https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/ChartCompa...

That same document refers to S. 139 as the FISA Reauthorization Amendments Act.

As we are discussing elsewhere, this is the vote on the Amash amendment, which is what people here are talking about.
