Subcommittee Analysis

The Department of Commerce maintains a large number of data banks but provided responses for only eight, all computerized. The agency claims that only these eight data banks contain information on individuals; of the eight, three maintain information on individuals not of a "personal" nature, according to the Department. Thus, for only five of its many data banks did the Department of Commerce provide answers to the full questionnaire.

The department failed to submit responses for three data banks which in their judgment did not include "personal" information. One of the omitted systems, however, contains information about the financial holdings abroad of some individuals, data that by most standards would be considered "personal."

In addition, the Department submitted no response at all for unnumbered data banks within the Bureau of Census, because they contained no data on individuals.

For the data banks which the department thought required a response, their answers are adequate. The date of the response was October 1970, but no new programs were planned at that time, so no update seems necessary.
