Court hearing on Bank Secrecy Act privacy challenge
A three judge panel heard bankers and the ACLU challenge to the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act requiring microfilming of all checks and on demand disclosure of deposits and withdrawals over 10 000. The suit argues violations of the First Fourth and Fifth Amendments, while the government defends the need for records in tax and criminal investigations. The court had issued a temporary restraining order but kept interim record-keeping in place.

He spoke Monday to a chamber of commerce after attending the United Nations environmental conference in Stockholm. A downtown congestion fee was discussed and Landon noted as considering such a limit. Hawaii and European cities were cited as examples of traffic and access limits.
