520 |a Because a right of information privacy is not firmly imbedded in constitutional case law, advocates of the concept that citizens have the right to control personal information held by others turned to Congress. Enacted to regulate the government's use of personal information, the Privacy Act of 1974 has failed to work in the way intended. Shortly after its passage, the political swing away from privacy and toward bureaucratic efficiency revealed the Act's structural and conceptual weaknesses. It is suggested that this act needs to be redrafted to strengthen its major principle--i.e., that information collected for one purpose may not be used for another purpose without the individual's consent. It is also recommended that information legislation restrict access to personal information held by private institutions. Further, it is felt that public policy is needed in response to advanced information technology that imbues institutions with the power to instantly exchange, compare, verify, profile, and link information in separate databases. This report provides guiding principles for drafting legislation, and concludes that statutory standards should incorporate a balance between the sensitivity of the information at stake and the institutional justification or need for the information.
