The Prevention of Fraudulent Access to Phone Records Act

THE PREVENTION OF FRAUDULENT ACCESS TO PHONE RECORDS ACT
[SOURCE: Rep Edward Markey (D-MA)]
Last week, Rep Ed Markey wrote House Speaker Dennis Hastert asking what has happened to a previously-scheduled vote on a bill, The Prevention of Fraudulent Access to Phone Records Act, Rep Markey co-sponsored. The bill, which passed with unanimous support from the House Commerce Committee, addresses the privacy of American consumers' phone records. Rep Markey asks about rumors that the House Intelligence Committee sought to amend the bill with exempts for "intelligence gathering activities." He wonders if there is a connection between the bill's sudden disappearance and last week's USAToday story about NSA's collection of phone records.
