Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on NSA's Collection of Domestic Call Records
May 11, 2006
Office of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
WASHINGTON, DC – "Like many Americans, I am deeply disturbed by today’s revelations about the NSA. We all deserve to know why the NSA has blocked the Department of Justice from investigating the NSA’s domestic surveillance program and why it has created an enormous database of Americans’ phone records.
Today’s revelations further demonstrate what happens to our Constitution, laws, and privacy when there is no meaningful congressional oversight of the president’s actions. Congress needs to get to the bottom of this. I join my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in demanding answers about the NSA’s domestic surveillance program and the NSA’s use of Americans’ phone records. We must defend our homeland while also defending our Constitution, laws, and privacy."
