Subject: NSA Report to Congress

A new National Security Agency Report to Congress on "Legal Standards for
the Intelligence Community in Conducting Electronic Surveillance" is now
posted at

        http://www.fas.org/irp/nsa/standards.html

The report, which was required by the FY 2000 Intelligence Authorization
Act, is in part a response to concerns raised by the "Echelon" story over
the past year or so.  The report reiterates and amplifies the requirements
of Executive Order 12333 and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
