Obama: Ron Wyden

Ron Wyden: Obama is expected to back tighter restrictions on foreign leader spying and also is considering a presidential commissions recommendation to strip the NSA of its ability to store telephone records from millions of Americans. The president could announce his final decisions as early as next week, according to 660 News. The president and his administration are wrestling with the issues, Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and privacy advocate, said after the meeting. Its fair to say that the next few weeks are going to be crunch time in terms of judgments being made in both the administration and the Congress and WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is still grappling with key decisions on the future of the National Security Agencys phone collection program and the makeup of the secret court that approved the surveillance, lawmakers said Thursday following a 90-minute meeting at the White House. Documents released by former National Security Agency systems analyst Edward Snowden revealed that the U.S. was monitoring the communications of several friendly foreign leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The revelations outraged Merkel as well as other leaders, and U.S. officials say the disclosures have damaged Obamas relations around the world. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
