Dear Mr Bilbray:

As your constituent, I write to inform you of my position on several bills
pending in the 104th Congress.

I oppose the following bills:

HR 570	(Beilenson, Act to Enforce Employer Sanctions Law) - creates a new
	Social Security card which amounts to an internal passport; I thought
	only places like the Soviet Union did things like this.
HR 756	(Hunter, Illegal Immigration Control Act) - creates an internal
	passport system like that of HR 570 above, and extends use of wiretaps
	to investigations of illegal immigration and fraudulent identification.
HR 1004	(Johnson, Communications Decency Act) - companion bill to SB 314 -
	makes information providers liable for any "obscenity" of the content
	that is supplied by individual subscribers - compliance would require
	large-scale monitoring of private communications.
HR 68	(Bereuter, FBI Counterintelligence Act) - gives the FBI easier access to
	credit reports for vaguely outlined purposes of "national security".
HR 785	(Johnson, Child Support Responsibility Act) - Makes parents' Social
	Security Numbers public record, by requiring their use on birth
	certificates and marriage licences.
HR 195	(Roukema, Interstate Child Support Enforcement Act) - creates national
	database of new hires, which could be misused in the future.
HR 999	- eliminates eligibility for federal student aid for legal, taxpaying
	immigrants who have not (yet) become citizens.
FY 1995 Recission Bill - needs to be amended to preserve student fellowship
	grants (Javits, Harris) for at least one more year.  At this late date,
	many affected students would be unable to make alternative funding
	arrangements for the coming academic year.

I support the following bills:

HR 153	(Solomon, Quality Assurance in Drug Testing Act) - prohibits random
	drug tests, requires that employers have explicit policies and use
	certified laboratories.
HR 184	(Collins, Individual Privacy Protection Act) - creates National Privacy
	Commission to oversee enforcement of the Privacy Act.
HR 434	(Condit, Postal Privacy Act) - prohibits the Postal Service from
	selling personal information to direct marketers.
HR 435	(Condit, Fair Health Information Practices Act) - limits access to
	personal medical records.

Also, please send me your email address in order to facilitate communication in
the future.

				Thank you,
