The Federal Communications Commission will not pursue complaints
about a U.S. spy agency's access to millions of telephone records
because it cannot obtain classified material, the FCC chairman said
in a letter released on Tuesday.
Rep. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, had asked
communications regulators to investigate a newspaper report that AT&T
Inc., Verizon Communications and BellSouth Corp. gave access to and
turned over call records to help the National Security Agency fight
terrorists.
