Following the presentation of my report on Echelon and related Sigint systems to the European Parliament in Brussels earlier this week, my principal original source has said that she may be identified. I published the first-ever report about Echelon in the British political weekly New Statesman on 12 August 1988. The information about Echelon in that report came principally from Margaret Newsham, a computer systems manager who is now in retirement. Margaret Newsham, better known as Peg, was formerly employed by a contractor at the National Security Agency Field Station at Menwith Hill, Yorkshire, England. From August 1978 onwards, she worked at Menwith Hill as a software system support co-ordinator. In this capacity, she helped managed a number of Sigint computer databases, including "Echelon 2". She and others also helped establish the "Silkworth" system at Menwith Hill. Silkworth is the ground processing system for the series of signals intelligence satellites initially known as Chalet, Vortex and Mercury. Later, on transferring to Sunnyvale, California, Peg Newsham worked for Lockheed Space and Missiles Corporation. In that capacity, she became aware of the plans drawn up for the massive expansion of the Echelon network, a project identified internally as P-415. During her employment by Lockheed, she became concerned about corruption, fraud and abuse within the organisations planning and operating electronic surveillance systems such as Echelon. She drew these matters to the attention of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence early in 1988. While working at Menwith Hill, she witnessed the interception of a telephone call made by US Senator Strom Thurmond. Although this incident was reported to the House Committee, no substantive investigation took place, and no report was made to Congress. Full text http://cryptome.org/echelon-mndc.htm -.- -.-.
