"By executive order of the President, the NSA is exempt from all laws which
do not specifically name the NSA in the text of the law as being subject to
that law. That means that if the agency is not spelled out in the text on
any and every law passed by the Congress it is not subject to that or those
laws. The NSA now performs many other duties and in fact is the premier
agency within the intelligence network. Today the NSA receives
approximately 75 per cent of the monies allotted to the intelligence
community. The old saying 'where the money goes therein the power resides'
is true. The DCI today is a figurehead maintained as a public ruse. The
primary task of the NSA is still alien communications, but now includes
other extraterrestrial projects as well.
