Electronic Surveillance Modernization Act
Senate Judiciary Committee approved legislation by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that would largely preserve a 1978 law governing domestic spying while making few provisions for new executive powers. While one lawmaker decried the Senate approach as "totally contradictory," the House Judiciary Committee abruptly canceled a vote on its own version of the surveillance reform law amid signs of dissension among Republicans there. Leading House Republicans back legislation by Heather Wilson, a New Mexico Republican, who chairs the subcommittee that oversees eavesdropping.
