The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 has passed the house
and is now being considered by the Senate (S-2575).  It is expected to
pass committee within a week, and could pass the Senate floor anytime
thereafter.

Most people automatically consider "privacy protection" to be a good
thing.  Indeed, the vote in the House was unanimous.  Only technologically
aware people readily see the deficiencies.   Fellow TELECOM readers
who feel strongly about the issue are urged to WRITE and TELEPHONE
their senators (and Senators Mathias, Moynihan, and Gore) to help
them understand the scientific reality.
