The law expired at midnight Sunday and NSA collection stopped hours earlier, creating gaps noted by intelligence officials. The House backed bill would reauthorize surveillance but gradually end phone records gathering, with a six month transition if enacted. The Senate planned a noon vote amid objections from Rand Paul.
