The New York Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint on May 24, 2006, with the Public Services Commission, attorney general Eliot Spitzer and the Consumer Protection Board, requesting an investigation of whether AT&T and Verizon have shared customers' phone records with the NSA. The PSC declined to investigate. The NYCLU has received no formal response from the attorney general or the CPB.
