        White House Slams Senate for Letting Surveillance Programs Lapse

   by Cindy Saine

   The White House has condemned the Senate for failing to extend
   provisions of the Patriot Act that gave the National Security Agency
   the authority to collect Americans' telephone data. White House press
   secretary Josh Earnest said the standoff in the Senate has introduced
   unnecessary risk for the United States, by taking away tools the
   intelligence community uses to track patterns in communication to
   prevent terrorist attacks. VOA's Cindy Saine reports from Capitol Hill.
