The White House says President Barack Obama will announce on Jan. 17 the
results of his review of National Security Agency surveillance
programs.
Ahead of his speech, Obama has been meeting with lawmakers, intelligence
officials, technology companies and privacy groups. He's also
considering more
than 40 recommendations from a presidential commission
that proposed broad changes to the NSA's powers.
Obama is expected to announce curbs on U.S. spying on friendly foreign
leaders. He's also seriously considering a plan that would strip the NSA
of its ability to store phone record data from millions of Americans.
The president has indicated he is open to significant changes to the nation's surveillance programs.
