EPIC Responds to Armey Letter

Majority leader Armey sent a letter to Congress yesterday urging legislators to "go slow" on privacy, and to focus on governmental invasions of privacy before exploring private-sector abuses. EPIC has responded to Representative Armey's letter, and challenged him to continue a strong American tradition of protecting individuals from both governmental and private sector invasions of privacy. The EPIC letter sets out specific areas in which citizens� privacy could be further protected from governmental actions.
