[ga] House Democrats seek to beef up federal privacy protections

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,

  Some good news of the privacy front:

Legislation introduced by House Democrats Thursday calls for
the appointment of chief privacy officers within every federal
agency and the creation of a federal privacy commission to
review policies and protect civil liberties.  The bill would require
the president to designate a senior chief privacy officer within
the Office of Management and Budget to coordinate federal
government privacy policies. The head of each federal department
and agency also would be required to appoint a senior official
for privacy policy, according to the Strengthening Homeland
Innovation to Emphasize Liberty, Democracy and Privacy Act
Bill # H.R.4414.

  Our members have been very active in aiding in getting this
sort of legislation introduced and hope any or all of you
have or will take personal responsibility and review this
legislation at your earliest opportunity..

Regards,
