Privacy Committee   Privacy Committee Documents     Purpose: The Privacy Committee of the CIO Council serves as the interagency coordination group for Senior Agency Officials for Privacy in the federal government to provide a focal point for the development and harmonization of privacy policy and protections. The Privacy Committee works to promote adherence to the letter and the spirit of laws advancing privacy, including the Privacy Act of 1974 and the E-Government Act of 2002, as well as widely accepted concepts of fair information principles and practices. Additionally, it looks to ensure widely available education and outreach efforts to create a culture of privacy and to enhance the respect for fair information principles across the federal government. These activities of the Privacy Committee help the Senior Agency Officials for Privacy ensure that their agency appropriately minimizes the impact on the individual's privacy, particularly the individual's personal information and dignity, in the design, development, and operation of agency collections of data.   Leadership:     Co-Chair   Ms. Karen S.
