Agenda The Privacy DebateMay 10, 1999 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Rayburn House Office Building The easy transmission of personal records on the Internet generates tremendous concern for privacy. Congress now is considering proposals to enhance privacy protections for medical and financial information. The Clinton administration, meanwhile, is attempting to avert a trade war with Europe over privacy protections in the wake of the European Union's Privacy Directive, which could prohibit the transfer of some information to the United States. The AEI-Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies invites you to attend and participate in an informed discussion of these issues. The Joint Center will also release its new working paper, Balancing the Cost and Benefits of the New Privacy Mandates, authored by Center Codirector Robert Litan. Moderator Robert W. Hahn, Director, AEI-Brookings Joint Center Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute Speakers Robert Litan, Codirector, AEI-Brookings Joint Center Director, Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution Deirdre Mulligan, Staff Counsel, Center for Democracy and Technology Peter Swire, Privacy Counselor, White House |
