Howard,
I was guessing U.N.C.L.E. stood for something else. I visited the web
site and they agree with you definition.
I am dropping bits more and more:(

when the TV show "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." first came out (1964?) -
UNCLE
did not stand for anything (it may have been inteded to be an
acronym, but
no specific words had been assigned)- only after public clamour did
some
marketing genius come up with "United Network Command for Law and
Enforcement".
That's the acronym I remember but recently read they actually
published two different acronyms for U.N.C.L.E. The thing about
this story that doesn't make sense is the periods in the name of the
show.
