Who did NSA's Shamrock and Minaret files list, and do they match Church's counts?

"SHAMROCK (telegram collection), MINARET (the watch list), wireless wiretapping, ECHELON (satellite communications intercept), and USSID 18 (retention of information on U.S. persons)."

"We know that MINARET was conducted by the NSA between 1967 and 1973, and that it targeted over a thousand American citizens."

"Over 5,925 foreigners and 1,690 organizations and US citizens were included on the Project MINARET watch lists. 1,650 U.S. citizens were targeted."

"the names of those targeted under the program were kept secret until Wednesday, when the project's target list was declassified by the US government. The declassification decision was sparked by a Freedom of Information Request filed by George Washington University's National Security Archive."

"c. October 1975. Confidential. Confirms that Operation Shamrock collected foreign communications from telegraph service companies."

"Among those monitored were: U.S. Senator Howard Baker , Civil Rights Movement leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Whitney Young , boxer Muhammad Ali , New York Times journalist Tom Wicker , the actress Jane Fonda and Washington Post humor columnist Art Buchwald ."

"The newly declassified documents show that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a major surveillance target of the government."

"c. October 1975. Provides background information on U.S. collection of telegraphs addressed to foreign governments from Western Union and other companies."

"In 1975, Senator Frank Church , himself a target, chaired the Church Committee , which disclosed the program."

"the NSA tracked two prominent journalists: Washington Post columnist Art Buchwald, and Tom Wicker of The New York Times"

"There was no judicial oversight, and the project had no warrants for interception."

"the Agency intercepted the telephone calls of at least two US Senators: Republican Howard baker and Democrat Frank Chuch"

"gave assurances in December"

"Intercepted messages were disseminated to the FBI , CIA , Secret Service , Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD), and the Department of Defense"

"about one-third of these 800 were from the narcotics list."

""probably the largest government interception program affecting Americans ever undertaken.""

"At the height of Project SHAMROCK, 150,000 messages were printed and analyzed by NSA personnel in a month."

"Between 1967 and 1973, MINARET’s watch lists named 1,650 US citizens directly, including Martin Luther King Jr, Muhammad Ali, and, in a detail that later became relevant, Senator Frank Church himself."

"declassified the substantive identification of the principal watchlisted figures including King, Ali, Senator Church, Senator Baker, Tom Wicker, and Art Buchwald."

"The operation had a sister programme, Project MINARET, which used SHAMROCK’s raw intercepts to search for the communications of people on government watch lists."

"That wider number describes the government’s general intelligence files rather than MINARET’s own targeted list, and it is worth reading with that distinction in mind rather than treating the two figures as interchangeable."

"under which RCA Global, ITT World Communications, and Western Union International provided the agency with copies of all international telegrams entering and leaving the United States."
