Mr. Chairman, let me first of all thank the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Bliley), chairman of the full committee, for his comments and support and his active assistance in the passage of this legislation. His statement I think in a very personal way again describes how important it is for Americans not only to have an expectation of privacy, but to have those of us in policy positions to reinforce and protect that expectation of privacy. I also want to commend the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Sam Johnson), our colleague who last week indeed pushed forward the anticloning legislation which is aimed to protect against the cloning of telephone numbers and the stealing of people's property through that process. As the Chairman alluded to, this bill and that bill go hand-in-hand and are part of an ongoing process to redefine in a technological age privacy rights in America.
