Two Democratic lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee are shedding light on the Central Intelligence Agency''s (CIA) secret data collection practices. The lawmakers raised their concerns on Thursday, February 10, alleging that the agency "had long hidden details about the program from the public and Congress." According to NBC News, Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) penned a letter addressed to The Honorable Avril Haines, director of National Intelligence in Washington, D.C. Wyden and Heinrich reiterated their concerns about the information being collected on American citizens.

It is critical that Congress not legislate without awareness of a CIA program, and that the American public not be misled into believe that the reforms in any reauthorization legislation fully cover the ICs collection of their records, the senators wrote in their letter.
