President Barack Obama has promised "appropriate reforms" to guarantee greater oversight of controversial US surveillance programmes.
At a White House news conference, he proposed "safeguards against abuse", including amending legislation on the collection of telephone data.
Mr Obama also urged appointing a lawyer to challenge the government at the nation's secretive surveillance court.
He has been defending the programmes since they were leaked in June.
Snowden 'no patriot'
Mr Obama said on Friday that the US "can and must be more transparent" about its snooping on phone and internet data.
"Given the history of abuse by governments, it's right to ask questions about surveillance, particularly as technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives," he told reporters.
"It's not enough for me as president to have confidence in these programmes," Mr Obama added. "The American people need to have confidence as well."
The president unveiled four proposals aimed at reassuring the public:
  • Reform Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which governs the programme that collects telephone records
  • Declassify the legal rationale for the government's phone-data collection, and said the National Security Agency would put in place a "civil liberties and privacy officer"
  • Appoint a lawyer to argue against the government at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which is accused of essentially rubber-stamping official requests to scour electronic records
  • Form a group of external experts to review all US government intelligence and communications technologies
In response to a question about Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who leaked details of the surveillance programmes to media, Mr Obama said: "No, I don't think Mr Snowden was a patriot."

Obama : "No,  Mr.   Snowden   was   a   patriot "
