Summary from moderator: Two recent developments in the Clinton Administration will be considered good news by most readers of this list. Another mail message reports criticism of the telecom bill by Clinton. In this one, I'll summarize a call for privacy that Craig Johnson forwarded to me. A report from the Commerce Department asks companies to voluntarily limit their use of customer information by telling the users of electronic services how the company will use personal information, and by obtaining permission before using personal information for commercial purposes. (These are common guidelines often recommended by privacy advocates and consumer groups.)
