In a speech Friday, President Obama vowed to make significant changes to the surveillance programs, run by the National Security Agency, but included important qualifiers to his promises. The president accepted some of the recommendations from an independent panel that argued late last year for significant curbing of N.S.A. power and the imposition of more oversight. But he left some grumbling that the overhaul will not do enough to protect civil liberties.

Debate over national security and civil liberties will dominate the Sunday morning shows this week.

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Mike Rogers, Republican of Michigan, will be making the rounds on Sunday, appearing on three different networks, where he is expected to defend N.S.A.’s data collection program.

On CBS’s “Face the Nation” Mr. Rogers and Senator Mike Udall, Democrat of Colorado, will debate N.S.A. reforms. Tom Donilon, a former national security adviser, and former Deputy C.I.A. Director Michael Morell will follow up with the effect of data collection on national security.

Mr. Rogers will also appear on CNN’s “State of the Union” to continue the conversation on N.S.A. surveillance and the future of the program. The Senate Intelligence Committee released a report on the attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans, harshly criticizing the State Department for its security failures. Senator Angus King, Independent of Maine and a member of the committee, will give further insight on the report.

Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, along with Mr. Rogers, will discuss changes to the N.S.A. on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Robert Gates, the former defense secretary and C.I.A. director who published a frank memoir this month, will also give his thoughts on data collection changes and discuss reaction to his new book.

On “Fox News Sunday,” Senator Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, and Michael Hayden, a former C.I.A. director general, will also react to the president’s N.S.A. proposals. In other security news, David Kennedy, founder of TrustedSec, an information security company, will appear on the show to talk about his concerns related to HealthCare.gov’s cybersecurity.

With less than three weeks before the Winter Olympics begin, Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, will talk with George Stephanopoulos in Sochi, Russia, on ABC’s “This Week.” Two terrorist attacks in late December have increased concern about security at the Games. Representative Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, will discuss President Obama’s proposed N.S.A. surveillance reforms.

Senators Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, and Bob Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, will go toe-to-toe on a range of topics, including the N.S.A. reforms, immigration legislation and the Affordable Care Act, on Telemundo’s “Enfoque.” The show airs at 1 p.m. Eastern time.

On CSPAN’s “Newsmakers,” Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray will talk about new mortgage rules for 2014.

Representative Mario Diaz Blart, Republican of Florida, who is working with other House Republicans on an immigration reform bill, will discuss his insights into the negotiations on Univision’s “Al Punto.”

In keeping with the Sunday show conversation, Bloomberg “Political Capital” hosted Ben Rhodes, White House deputy national security adviser. The show airs on Friday and repeats throughout the weekend.
