Barack Obama will speak at the Department of Justice this morning to outline reforms and changes to signals intelligence programs, the result of a
months-long review of National Security Agency policies spurred by leaks from former contractor Edward Snowden.
According to a senior Obama administration official, Obama is expected to call for an end to the NSA's ability to store phone "metadata." In the next 60 days, Obama will ask Congress, the Justice Department, and the intelligence community to decide where such data should be stored.
Obama's speech comes about a month after an independent panel put forward a series of more than 40 recommendations of changes to existing surveillance programs. Obama reviewed those recommendations during a two-week vacation in Hawaii.
