Senate to return May 31 to consider domestic surveillance program

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Saturday the U.S. Senate would return to Washington on May 31 to consider ways to prevent the expiration of domestic surveillance program on June 1. The Senate will return from its Memorial Day holiday recess a day early. McConnell spoke shortly after the Senate failed to advance a bill to reform the surveillance program, as well as proposed extensions of the program.
