Some Sunday The New York Times reading: Representative Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California, who also has sponsored legislation that would curb surveillance programs, said lawmakers may still not go far. I’m not all that sanguine about Congress’s ability to step up to the plate and enact reform on its own, he said. Congress will do some of the easy things, like require more transparency in surveillance. But it may not be until next year, when the PATRIOT Act comes up for renewal, that more significant issues are addressed. Unequivocal defenders know the program disappears in 18 months, Mr. Schiff said. That may make them more amenable to compromise.
