On the recordOctober 7, 2004
The Judiciary Committee and the Governmental Affairs Committee have a shared history of working together to preserve privacy and civil liberties, and to promote open and accountable government. Our committee members have developed substantial expertise and experience in these areas, and we have a duty to continue to oversee these concerns. I thank the distinguished Ranking Member of the Governmental Affairs Committee for working with us to ensure that the Board's work on privacy and civil liberties matters be under the jurisdiction of both these committees so that we can continue to provide effective oversight.
