Home » Democratic Senator Wants Oversight of Surveillance Programs
Senator Patrick Leahy has introduced a bill seeking to rein in the sweeping U.S. government surveillance programs exposed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
The bill would expand reporting requirements for the secret programs, add more court reviews and move up the expiration of the authorization for some of the data collection by 2-1/2 years, says Reuters.
