WASHINGTON (AFP) - A Republican lawmaker whose subcommittee oversees the National Security Agency has broken ranks with the White House and called for a full Congressional inquiry into the Bush administration's domestic spying program, a newspaper reported.

The The New York Times said Representative Heather Wilson (news, bio, voting record) of New Mexico, who chairs the House Subcommittee on Technical and Tactical Intelligence, said in an interview that she had "serious concerns" about the surveillance program.

Wilson, who was a National Security Council aide in the administration of President Bush's father, is the first Republican on either the House's Intelligence Committee or the Senate's to call for a full congressional investigation into the program, the paper said.

She said the House Intelligence Committee needed to conduct a "painstaking" review, including not only classified briefings but also access to internal documents and staff interviews with NSA aides and intelligence officials, according to the report.
