House Questions FTC Chairman on Privacy Issues
FTC Chairman Timothy Muris was the sole witness at a hearing organized by the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection on November 7, 2001. This was his first hearing before Congress and the Subcommittee members questioned him closely on his proposals to protect consumer privacy both online and offline. While the hearings did not get too far into the specifics, the Subcommittee did send a signal that consumer privacy is one of the top items in their agenda. Muris told the subcommittee that his agency is working hard to implement the major themes of the privacy agenda he announced last month, including a national do-not-call telemarketing list, and a crackdown on identity theft and on- and offline scams.Hearing on Challenges Facing the Federal Trade Commission November 7, 2001
