Excerpt: “Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) spokesman Alan Silverleib released the following statement: ‘The White House terminated Chair Sharon Bradford Franklin, and Members Ed Felten and Travis LeBlanc from their positions as of 5 p.m. last Thursday. The agency, however, has significant ability to continue functioning with its full staff and remaining Member Beth Williams to continue the Board’s important mission, including its advice and oversight functions, and its current projects. The Board looks forward to moving ahead on additional projects formally following the nomination, confirmation, and appointment of new Members.”’
