With the Obama administration planning to provide small arms and ammunition to rebel forces in the Syrian civil war, the Sunday shows will focus on the debate over whether this is the best response to the revelations that President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against the rebels.

Denis R. McDonough, the White House chief of staff, and Representative Mike Rogers of Michigan, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, will join CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday to talk about Syria and the leaks disclosing the reach of the National Security Agency’s surveillance efforts.
