Russia and China are spying on US facilities at close to Cold War levels, the head of US intelligence has warned.
Both were aggressively collecting information on the US, head of National Intelligence Michael McConnell warned.
US agencies are battling traditional state foes as well as terror groups, Mr McConnell told a congressional hearing.
Mr McConnell was defending new legislation allowing the US government to eavesdrop on international phone calls and emails without a warrant.
"Foreign intelligence information concerning the plans, activities and intentions of foreign powers and their agents is critical to protect the nation and preserve our security," Mr McConnell told the House Judiciary Committee.
