The renewed tension between the two houses came a day after the Senate failed to pass legislation extending the legal authority for U.S. spy agencies’ collection of American’s phone records in time to keep the program from expiring.
While a lapse of only a few days is seen as having little effect on intelligence agencies’ capabilities, a legislative struggle is now looming over the Senate’s proposed amendments to the Freedom Act aimed at extending surveillance powers.
