“this evening I would like to address the House concerning, I think, a very important emerging issue, emerging because of tremendous consolidation in our financial services industry and emerging because of people's rightful concern about their personal privacy. This personal privacy issue is one I think that has exploded on us because we have found, unfortunately, that there are various businesses that are consciously violating Americans rights of personal privacy. Let me give my colleagues just a little small example, because I am going to talk about financial services industries in an abstract, but I just want to tell my colleagues a little story, a little story about personal privacy and what happens when it is not respected. I was talking to this Member who was telling me that he just had heart surgery, and because of that heart surgery, he was on a blood thinner drug called Coumadin, which is fine, and it saved his life, and he is doing quite well. But about 30 days after he started on this regimen of Coumadin, lo and behold, he gets a solicitation in the mail from this company to buy some product about how to monitor his Coumadin.”
