After President Obama sharpened his focus on the economy last week, the treasury secretary, Jacob J. Lew, will appear on the Sunday shows on ABC, CNN, Fox and NBC to discuss the administration’s latest approach with Congressional fights looming over government spending and the debt ceiling.

Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, will join Mr. Lew on “Fox News Sunday” to talk about how some Republicans are threatening to shut down the government if Democrats do not withhold financing for the president’s health care law.

Representative Mike Rogers of Michigan, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, will be on CBS’s “Face the Nation” and NBC’s “Meet the Press,” sharing his thoughts on the importance of the National Security Agency’s data collection programs to protecting the United States. The House narrowly defeated legislation Wednesday that would have limited the N.S.A.’s surveillance efforts. CBS will also feature Senator Mark Udall, Democrat of Colorado, who is a co-sponsor of a similar bill in the Senate.
