Armey > Office of the Majority Leader > U.S. Capitol H327A > Washington, D.C. 20515 > > July 3, 2001 > > Dear Mr. Armey, > Thank you for your continued leadership and example on protecting the personal privacy of Americans. As members of organizations committed to protecting privacy, we support your efforts to ensure that our Constitutional rights and liberties are protected. As you know, many federal government policies are fraught with privacy abuses. We commend your leadership on these issues such as Carnivore (DSC1000), FIDNet, Know Your Customer, thermal imaging, surveillance cameras, civil asset forfeiture, etc. The following organizations support your efforts in continuing to expose and resolve some of these government abuses of privacy. The recent decision from the Supreme Court regarding the use of thermal imaging plays a vital role in the equation, as privacy may be violated in the name of the drug war. Too often, government abuses of privacy can cause, directly or indirectly, corporate or other private sector abuses of Americans' privacy. These privacy abuses need to be closely watched because of the negative ramifications they have on the personal lives of our fellow Americans. We appreciate your leadership against the federal medical privacy rule and the unique patient identifier. These issues illustrate some of the problems with the intersection of government and private sector privacy violations. As we approach our celebrations for our nation's Independence, we are reminded of our country's leaders who fight to defend our rights. This fight is a noble one, and we recognize your leadership in this never-ending struggle. With changes in technology affecting our lives at such a rapid pace, we are pleased to have someone who understands its potential problems and is willing to take a stand to address them to the protection of our Constitutional liberties.
