On page 7 of today's New York Times (_Saturday_, July 17) there is a short article about the nation's inflated intelligence budget. Buried in the article are two paragraphs describing another section of the intelligence funding bill. Tacked onto the bill is a provision to allow the FBI to access the credit records of suspected "spies and terrorists" by writing a letter rather than getting a search warrant or other court order. Your credit card bills and mortgage payments are rapidly becoming police information. - --Peter (kaplan () sol1 lrsm upenn edu)
