The intelligence community is deploying a full-court press across Washington to woo skeptics to support renewing surveillance powers that are set to expire later this year, with new overtures to civil liberties advocates and policymakers.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is organizing a September meeting for public interest groups to huddle with senior intelligence officials to discuss the spying powers, according to an invitation viewed by The Washington Times.

The spying powers contained in Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will disappear at the end of 2023 unless Congress acts.
