WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators have dropped a demand for a public declaration of how many civilians the United States kills in CIA drone strikes each year after the U.S. intelligence chief expressed concerns, congressional aides said.

The provision was included in Congress’ main intelligence bill for 2014, which passed a committee vote in November but hasn’t been adopted by the full Senate yet.
