“Amy Boyer, a 21-year-old young woman was killed by a stalker, a stalker who paid $45 in order to purchase her Social Security number so that she could be tracked down and killed. Her murderer actually on his Web site in graphic detail outlined how the Social Security number was the key to finding out where she was. The House was passing on a bipartisan bill, a protection against the misuse of Social Security numbers; instead, in the Commerce State Justice bill, we are going to recede to the Senate language, which The Washington Post yesterday called a trojan horse, which the Boyer family says they do not want as protections. They do not want their name identified with the bill, even though it is named after their daughter. I ask the House to reject the Commerce, State, Justice bill that would include a Social Security bill that would allow just about complete trafficking in Social Security numbers without any real protections for ordinary Americans.”
