On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law passed the Defense of Privacy Act (H.R. 338) after the subcommittee held hearings on DHS privacy officer duties and the Defense of Privacy Act.
Testimony by DHS Chief Privacy Office Nuala O’Connor Kelly
CDT Executive Director James Dempsey: <a href=http://www.cdt.org/testimony/20040210dempsey.shtml">Testimony: “Privacy in the Hands of the Government: The Privacy Officer for the Department of Homeland Security”
Wired News: Privacy Is in the House: “The Defense of Privacy Act, which was approved by a House subcommittee on Tuesday, would complement the E-Government Act of 2001, which requires agencies to submit privacy impact assessments whenever they buy new technology.”
