Privacy Commission weighs limits on mailing lists abuse
The Privacy Protection Study Commission examines how mailing lists are compiled and who can access them. It considers prohibiting or regulating list creation and giving individuals a right to remove their names. Officials warn too severe rules could cripple direct mail and affect bulk USPS mail while noting FBI and IRS have used lists for investigations. Linowes warns of growing power to assemble broad profiles from public records and private data. The average family is on about 80 lists yearly, and penalties for noncompliance could threaten the industry.

Is Congress Planning A Crooked Coup in Campaign Finance
A 1976 critique argues that Rep. Wayne Hays seeks to dismantle the independent Federal Election Commission and return enforcement to Congress. The piece traces court rulings, Senate pressure, and House maneuvers as lawmakers clash over who appoints and funds the Commission and how election laws are enforced. It cites Common Cause, Senators Clark and Schwelker, Mikva and Frenzel, and Comptroller General Staats amid a bid to preserve a presidentially appointed, enforceable agency.
