No act of Congress created the NSA, and no statute establishes the agency or defines the scope of its permissible activities (in sharp contrast I with the CIA, which was created by an act of Congress and thus has clearly defined missions and accountability). The NSA came into being on November 4, 1952, through a National Security Council intelligence directive issued by President Harry Truman under the authority of the National Security Act of 1947. President Truman's directive consolidated the various signal interception and analysis activities of the U.S. government, including those of the military, under the umbrella of the NSA. The directive itself was classified Top Secret until the 1970s; even the name "National Security Agency" was classified for over two decades. (A joke among NSA employees at the time was that "NSA" stood for "no such agency.")
The NSA's operating authority is to gather "foreign intelligence" for the purposes of "national security." Those terms, however, have never been precisely defined and are open to broad and creative interpretation. No law has ever been enacted by Congress to prohibit the NSA from engaging in any activity; however, Congress has enacted numerous laws prohibiting anyone from divulging information about the NSA or its activities."
