No FISA Judges were appointed by Clinton. Every Judge on FISA was named to the Court by Rehnquist.

He was indeed appointed to the bench by President Clinton. He may have been assigned to be one of the judges sitting on the FISA panel by Rehnquist but Rehnquist would have no authority to have to put him on bench. Judges are appointed by the President and seated upon confirmation by the Senate, per the U.S. Constitution.
