Today is the second of two days of hearings.
Today is the second day of hearings by the Subcommittee on the issue of customer financial and medical privacy. As I mentioned yesterday, we addressed the privacy issue in great detail in H.R. 10. Quite frankly, I think we have made a very good start in H.R. 10 on privacy protections. Yesterday we heard from three panels of witnesses. These witnesses included academics and other privacy experts, representatives of our smaller financial institutions, credit bureaus and marketers as well as the consumer groups.
