Keith Alexander
Commander, U.S. Cyber Command and Director, NSA
CSPAN 06/18/2013
Q. Does the NSA have a database that you maintain that holds the content of American’s phone calls? Do you have recordings of all of our calls? So if we're making phone calls is there a national database that has the content of our calls? A. We're not allowed to do that, nor do we do that unless we have a court order to do that. And it would be only in specific cases, and almost always that would be an FBI lead, not ours.

Mueller: it is very seldom used, generally use in a particular incident where you need the capability I will have to go back and check in terms of what we need in the images and the like. But It is very narrowly focused on the particularized cases and particularized needs and particularized cases and that is the principal of privacy limitations.
