The undersigned civil liberties, human rights, and other public interest organizations write
in support of the USA FREEDOM Act (S. 2685), which Senator Leahy reintroduced on
July 29. We urge both the Senate and the House to pass it swiftly and without any dilution
of its protections.
We support S. 2685 as an important first step toward necessary comprehensive
surveillance reform. We urge the Senate and the House to pass it quickly, and without
making any amendments that would weaken the important changes described above.
Sincerely,
