Moreover, Congress itself seems poised to consider more uses of existing federal databases without adequate consideration of threats they post to personal privacy, and without assessing the impact on our society at the macro level. This is why we respectfully that request your committee investigate the federal government's use of these types of databases, the abuses that have already occurred, and the potential for future abuse. We believe that such a hearing would be both informative to an unaware general public and beneficial to policymakers who continually are under pressure to find more efficient ways of governing. Thank you for considering our request on this most important issue. Please respond directly to Lisa Dean at the Free Congress Foundation and she will share your response with the other organizations listed below.
