The Office of the Director of National Intelligence releases a report entitled "Safeguarding the Personal Information of all People: a Status Report on the Development and Implementation of Procedures Under Presidential Policy Directive 28" (PPD-28). PPD-28 was issued by President Obama in conjunction with his January 17th speech on surveillance reform and is meant to "guide why, whether, when, and how the United States conducts signals intelligence activities for authorized foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes." The 11 page report mainly outlines "appropriate protections for personal information" collected through signals intelligence. The protections outlined in the report are mainly based on Executive Order 12333.
