Durbin's letter comes nearly three weeks after Google Inc. said it would stop censoring search results in China and threatened to pull out of the country altogether after uncovering a hacking attack that emanated from China and attempts to snoop on dissidents.
Durbin said he is gathering information about the conduct of other big technology companies to prepare for a hearing on Google's actions in China.

AT&T and Facebook said they would respond to Durbin's letter by the Feb. 19 deadline.
