At least two new bills have been introduced in the Senate addressing the National Security Agency (NSA) phone surveillance program. The Senate Intelligence Committee is looking to swiftly pass legislation that would “change but preserve” the recently revealed dragnet program, according to The New York Times. The bill, backed by Sens. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) and Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), would require public reports revealing frequency of access by the NSA to the call log database, reduce the retention time from five to two years and require the NSA to send the data it searches to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for review. A rival bill, backed by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Mark Udall (D-CO), would ban the collection program. (Registration may be required to access this story.)
