Senate report on spying sparks calls for tighter oversight
The Senate Intelligence Committee's 296 page report accuses government agencies of wide scale bugging, burglary and blackmail to gather private data on Americans. It urged strict CIA, FRY and other spy agency controls while the Rules Committee moved to replace its recommendation for a congressional intelligence monitor with a study group lacking powers. Strong mentions include FBI COINTELPHO, NSA data, and IRS dossiers. Republicans warned against overreach, noting the report disclosed few new abuses.

The 47 to 40 vote blocked moving the measure to a final vote, curbing an effort to overturn Roe v. Wade. Sen. Birch Bayh led the opposition to expedited consideration, citing bypassed subcommittee review. The proposal would have required two thirds in both houses and three fourths state ratification.
