 Alphabet agency  | |
|---|---|
| Acronym used to describe U.S. intelligence agencies |
Since the 1990s, the term alphabet agencies has been commonly used to describe the agencies of the U.S. national security state. Many are members of the United States Intelligence Community,[1][2] and several were founded or expanded in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.[3][4][5] Alphabet agencies in this sense of the term may also be called three-letter agencies,[6] because they often use three-letter acronyms.
