LONG, OF DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN, DEAR MR. LONG: This is in response to your inquiry concerning the amount of information which Government agencies currently maintain on individuals. The Council reports to the President about the effectiveness of education programs for the disadvantaged and in this capacity does not concern itself with records on individuals. We do inspect résumés of people who apply to us for consultant positions, but this is the only type of information on individuals we consider. Their résumés give the person's educational background, publications, and experience with disadvantaged children. Sincerely yours, MICHAEL W. KIRST.
