Obama Consulting With Intelligence Officials, Privacy Board

President Barack Obama, flanked by Vice President Joe Biden, talks about the crisis in Syria to media gathered in the Rose Garden of the White House Saturday, Aug. 31, 2013, in Washington.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are expected to meet Wednesday with intelligence community leaders and the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, the White House said.

Last month, the White House released the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board’s review of government surveillance activities, as revealed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. Among its recommendations, the panel suggested that the NSA end its phone records collection program.
