President Barack Obama is expected to restrict National Security Agency access to Americans' phone records and rein in spying on foreign leaders, according to people familiar with a White House review of the government's surveillance programs.
Obama could unveil his highly anticipated decisions next week. The president is expected to discuss his review with congressional lawmakers on Thursday. Representatives from tech companies are meeting White House staff on Friday.
Obama is still collecting information before making final decisions. Among the changes Obama is expected to announce is more oversight of the National Intelligence Priorities Framework, a classified document that ranks US intelligence-gathering priorities and is used to make decisions on scrutiny of foreign leaders.
