The fate of the bulk collection of American phone records by the National
Security Agency is now before the Senate, in what is increasingly looking
like a game of legislative chicken.
.
The Senate is expected to decide Friday what to do with the oft-debated
measure.
.
The House has left town, having passed a bill to end NSA's collection of
domestic phone metadata, while replacing it with case-by-case searches and
extending two other expiring surveillance provisions used by the FBI to
pursue suspected spies and terrorists. The president and his top law
enforcement officials are urging the Senate to pass the House bill, known
as the USA Freedom Act. So are Democrats and Republicans in the House.
.
If the Senate doesn't act, the laws authorizing the programs will expire
June 1, and officials say they will lose valuable surveillance tools.
Friday is the last day of congressional business before then.
.
But key Republican senators continue to resist. One, Richard Burr,
chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, floated an alternative plan
Thursday afternoon that would essentially dare the House to reject it,
allowing the legal authorities to expire.
.
"I don't think anyone in the House wants it to go dead," he told
reporters.
.
Burr predicted the House's USA Freedom Act would fail to break the 60-vote
threshold needed to end debate in the Senate, and he envisioned the same
fate for a two-month extension of current law proposed by Senate leaders.
As a compromise, he proposes that the Senate vote to extend current law
between 5 days and a month.
.
Alongside that, he said, he would introduce a bill to end NSA's bulk
collection of phone records after a two-year transition period, up from
six months in the House bill.
.
The Senate would then depart, leaving it up to the House to take or leave
the Senate proposal when House members return June 1.
