WASHINGTON — House lawmakers prepared to extend surveillance authorities that expire this month, releasing legislation that could represent a rare bipartisan agreement after members of both parties said they wanted to ensure the tools preserved civil liberties.
The bill was the product of bipartisan negotiations between Democrats and House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, according to an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and one other person familiar with the talks. They requested anonymity to discuss the confidential negotiations. The revised bill would scale back some current authorities, such as the government’s access to records, attempt to put stronger checks on some surveillance measures and make the process more transparent. Both Democrats and Republicans had sought those reforms to varying degrees.
Attorney General William Barr has urged Congress to quickly renew the provisions , which are used by the Justice Department to fight terrorism, with or without immediate changes. McConnell and Pelosi have both been supportive of Barr's request, but some members of their caucuses slowed the process as they made it clear they wouldn't support an extension without changes.
