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.
