Bush: U.S. Not Listening to Domestic Calls

By TERENCE HUNT AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON May 16, 2006 (AP)— President Bush insisted Tuesday that the United States
does not listen in on domestic telephone conversations among ordinary Americans.
But he sidestepped whether the National Security Agency compiles phone records
on millions of people.

"We do not listen to domestic phone calls without court approval," Bush said
in an East Room news conference with Australian Prime Minister John Howard.

"What I've told the American people is we'll protect them against an al-Qaida attack.
And we'll do that within the law," Bush said.

However, Bush did not respond directly when asked whether it was a violation of privacy
for the NSA to seek phone records from telephone companies.
