Thank you all very much for being here today.
I want to highlight a point and get your comments.
When the act was first written, we had written records and now we're moving to digital records. There's always this fear of oversharing or over-collecting of data. Right now in the act there is something where government institutions can collect data that they consider relates directly to the program they're analyzing. One of the issues, and Ms. McPhail and Mr. Israel spoke about this, is the necessity of collecting information.
How would we define a necessity test? How could we put that into legislation?
