Edolphus Towns: “We should take swift action to pass it in this Congress.”

When I walk the streets in my district and I listen to the people that are losing their homes, and then you look at these salaries, one would say, wait a minute, why don't we take these salaries and save a whole block.

The private sector can, and must, safeguard personal information.

Unfortunately the discussion draft before us today falls short of the commitment needed to ensure that the personal information of hard working Americans are kept safe.
