President Obama is set to unveil his plans for reforming the National Security Agency’s sweeping spy programs today after they were brought to light by Edward Snowden. News reports citing unnamed officials say Obama will call on the NSA to end its bulk control of Americans’ phone data. A White House panel recommended the data be stored outside government hands. Reuters reports Obama will order that, effective immediately, “We will take steps to modify the program so that a judicial finding is required before we query the database.” But Obama will not say who will control the data, instead requesting congressional input on where to store it. Responding to an earlier report about the speech in The New York Times, American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Anthony Romero said, “Keeping the storage of all Americans’ data in government hands and asking 'lawmakers to weigh in,' as reported, is passing the buck –- when the buck should stop with the president.”
