On the recordApril 20, 1994
I rise in support of the Moran amendment. This amendment will allow people an opportunity to protect their safety by denying some individuals access to information about their whereabouts. Sadly, some people have used motor vehicle departments to learns the address of a person who does not want to give out his or her address. This is particularly a problem with stalkers, people who methodically invade every aspect of a person's life, denying them peace of mind and a sense of safety even in their own home. Stalkers follow, threaten, intimidate, assault, and sometimes kill those with whom they are obsessed. Allowing a government agency to aid stalkers in locating those they are harassing is untenable. We must ensure that the agencies are not misused, and that all individuals have an opportunity to protect their privacy. I urge my colleagues to join in support of this amendment.
