The National Security Agency (NSA) recently defended itself in a letter to Congress, claiming that all of its activities under the Echelon satellite-surveillance program are conducted lawfully. The agency has come under fire recently from the European Parliament, which accused the NSA of using intelligence for the benefit of American industry. The European Parliament also contends that ordinary European and American citizens are being spied upon. The American Civil Liberties Union has recently requested congressional hearings on the matter. (New York Times, 28 Feb 2000)
