Whereas, on June 19, 1865, Union soldiers led by Major 
General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, 
with news that the Civil War had ended and that the 
enslaved were free; 
Whereas African-Americans who had been slaves in the 
Southwest celebrated June 19th, commonly known as 
‘‘Juneteenth Independence Day’’, as the anniversary of 
their emancipation; 
Whereas African-Americans from the Southwest continue the 
tradition of celebrating Juneteenth Independence Day as 
inspiration and encouragement for future generations; 
Whereas, for more than 145 years, Juneteenth Independence 
Day celebrations have been held to honor African-Amer-
ican freedom while encouraging self-development and re-
spect for all cultures; and 
Whereas the faith and strength of character demonstrated by 
former slaves remains an example for all people of the 
United States, regardless of background, religion, or 
race: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) the House of Representatives— 
(A) recognizes the historical significance of 
Juneteenth Independence Day to the Nation; 
(B) supports the continued celebration of 
Juneteenth Independence Day to provide an op-
portunity for the people of the United States to

To require the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications
Commission to take action, as necessary, to protect consumer privacy
in light of the convergence of communications technologies.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 20, 1996
Mr. MARKEY introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Commerce
A BILL
To require the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal
Communications Commission to take action, as nec-
essary, to protect consumer privacy in light of the con-
vergence of communications technologies.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Communications Pri-
vacy and Consumer Empowerment Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) As our Nation’s communications networks
continue to grow and become ever more sophisti-
cated, more individuals and industries will be using
such networks to conduct commercial transactions.
(2) It is important to establish personal privacy
rights and industry obligations now so that consum-
ers have confidence that their personal privacy is
fully protected in our Nation’s telecommunications
networks.
(3) The information superhighway must be safe
and secure for all its travellers so that economic
growth is not threatened due to consumer concern
over the electronic ethics of certain cyberspace mar-
keters.
(4) The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Pub-
lic Law 104–104) contains expanded privacy protec-
tions for consumers by requiring that telecommuni-
cations carriers under the jurisdiction of the Federal
Communications Commission obtain consumer ap-
proval prior to reusing or selling certain personal in-
formation.
(5) It is becoming increasingly apparent that
the existing privacy protections accorded consumers
with respect to information gathered by tele-
communications carriers are not alone sufficient to
protect consumer privacy rights and that further
protections are needed to ensure that such rights are
retained and respected on the information super-
highway by other entities doing business in
cyberspace.
(6) In addition to the growing number of busi-
nesses and adults getting online, some 2,000,000
kids currently use the Internet and this number is
expected to grow to more than 15,000,000 by the
year 2000.
(7) Recent media reports indicate that online
marketers are gathering personal information from
children, in some cases in a deceptive manner.
(8) In addition to the work performed by the
Federal Communications Commission in regulating
our Nation’s telecommunications networks, the Fed-
eral Trade Commission continues to have the task of
ensuring that online marketers and businesses at the
ends of the line do not engage in deceptive or fraud-
ulent practices.
(9) The ease of gathering and compiling per-
sonal information, both overtly and surreptitiously,
in cyberspace is becoming increasingly efficient and
almost effortless due to advances in digital tele-
communications technology. As a result, digital tech-
