The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama urged the Senate to pass the USA Freedom Act, which would curb the bulk collection of telephone records by the National Security Agency in the wake of widespread concerns about potential violations of privacy.

The administration has asked the Senate to pass the legislation and for the House of Representatives, which earlier passed a weakened version of the bill, to act quickly so that Obama can sign the legislation into law this year, according to a statement Monday from the executive office of the president. The bill has to pass both in the Senate and the House before it can become law.

A procedural vote in the Senate on the legislation, which has got the backing of civil rights activists and other groups, could come on Tuesday, with a final vote on the bill in the days following.

The bill strengthens the FISAs privacy and civil liberties protections, while preserving essential authorities that our intelligence and law enforcement professionals need, according to the statement, which noted that the administration strongly supports Senate passage of the legislation. If the bill is not passed, critical national security authorizations that are reformed in the legislation could expire next summer, it added.

The administration is, however, hopeful that the legislation will resolve concerns from intelligence officials about a provision in the bill that allows an independent privacy advocate to argue before the FISA Court in support of individual privacy and civil liberties. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, better known as FISA, governs NSA surveillance.

Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden triggered strong privacy concerns in the U.S. and abroad after his disclosures last year that the government was collecting telephone metadata of Americans in bulk from Verizon and also intercepting Internet communications, placing technology companies in an embarrassing position with their users.

A number of countries are now demanding that cloud companies store data locally to avoid access to the information by U.S. law enforcement.

The Senate bill requires the NSA to use specific selection terms to limit its targets in the telephone records collection, and requires the government to issue reports on the number of people targeted in surveillance programs.

The bill introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont, is a version of the bill passed in the House, which was criticized by privacy advocates for watering down key privacy provisions, including in the criteria for search terms to collect phone records.

Some critics of the bill, however, argue that the USA Freedom Act does not address surveillance and data collections under other provisions such as Section 702 of the amended FISA Act, which covers surveillance of non-U.S. persons located outside the U.S.

Google, Apple and other big names in consumer technology are imploring Congress to pass a bill to curb the surveillance powers of the National Security Agency. More than a year after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked classified documents detailing the breadth of NSA spying powers, the U.S. Senate this week is expected to begin weighing the USA Freedom Act. The bill sponsored by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., would set limits on the bulk collection of Americans Internet data. Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Twitter and other tech giants on Sunday sent an open letter to the Senate imploring it to reform government surveillance techniques. Since forming the Reform Government Surveillance coalition last year, our companies have continued to invest in strengthening the security of our services and increasing transparency, the letter said. Now, the Senate has the opportunity to send a strong message of change to the world and encourage other countries to adopt similar protections.

NSA Director Michael Rogers delivered his remarks Friday while giving an address at the Politics Aside conference Took over the agency in April after departure of his embattled predecessor, Keith Alexander Rogers said because of Edward Snowden's leaks, groups like ISIS have been 'shutting the NSA out'

PR porblem: NSA Director Michael Rogers spoke about the agency's bad image at a conference in California held by the think-tank RAND Corportation

The newly appointed director of the beleaguered National Security Agency has excoriated critics for vilifying the department while insisting that the NSA is not keeping tabs on Americans.

NSA Director Michael Rogers delivered his remarks Friday while giving an address at the Politics Aside conference, which is hosted twice a year in Santa Monica, California, by RAND Corporation - a non-profit global policy think tank.

'We don't monitor the behaviors of American citizens,' Rogers declared. 'That's not what we're about. That's not our mission. That's not what we're here to do. So we've got to work our way through this.'

Rogers, who is a US Navy admiral, took over the NSA in April following the departure of the agency's previous director, Keith Alexander.

Following explosive revelations made by former NSA and CIA contractor Edward Snowden that the agency has been eavesdropping on Americans, Alexander famously lied during a congressional hearing in March 2012, denying data collection on US citizens.

It was not until July 2013 that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper publicly admitted that the NSA does collect metadata on millions of American phone calls.
