In a 275-144 vote, the chamber voted to extend until December provisions on wiretaps, access to business records and surveillance of terror suspects.
The White House backed the bill, but would have favoured a longer extension.
The bill failed a vote last week, when it was brought to the floor under rules requiring a two-thirds majority.
