President Barack Obama will meet with a bipartisan group of lawmakers at the White House on August 1 to "discuss key programs under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."

The group of lawmakers includes Sens Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Mark Udall (D-CO), who have been outspoken critics of recently revealed National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance programs, as well as Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and ranking member Saxby Chambliss (R-GA). Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) will also attend, as will House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI), ranking member Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI), the original author of the Patriot Act.
