White House Briefs Senate Panel on NSA Eavesdropping Program
The new seven-senator intelligence subcommittee created to review the Bush administration's domestic surveillance program had its first White House briefing yesterday and is scheduled to visit the National Security Agency's headquarters Monday to gather additional information, according to congressional and administration officials. The surveillance program, which became public in December, allows the NSA to monitor phone calls and e-mails between the United States and abroad that involve, at least on one end, terrorists or persons associated with them.
