Tom Udall |
U.S Senator Tom Udall is leading a
bipartisan call for an independent investigation into the National Security
Agency’s (NSA) phone records and data collection programs by a key privacy and
civil liberties panel originally recommended by the 9/11 Commission and
strengthened through Udall’s efforts.
Udall sent a bipartisan letter to the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, asking it
to “make it an urgent priority to investigate the programs mentioned above and
determine whether they (1) are conducted within the statutory authority granted
by Congress, and (2) take the necessary precautions to protect the privacy and
civil liberties of American citizens under the Constitution.”
The letter
is also signed by 12 other Senators.
