An article on The Hill (http://thehill.com/policy/technology/206686-privacy-advocate...) says that the change was made at the behest of the Obama administration:

"[A]fter moving through the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, where it saw some changes but retained the support of privacy advocates, last minute negotiations between House leadership and the Obama administration have left the bill with weakened language when it comes to banning mass surveillance, advocates say."

Disappointing on many levels.
