Formulation of the 2002 Farm Bill
TOP OF DOC 22.3 Need for Reform. As welfare reform has progressed throughout the country, policies within the Food Stamp Program have primarily remained stagnant. While Governors believe the current food stamp system provides a key benefit for individuals and families, many of the outdated policies should be reconsidered in light of welfare reform. The current Food Stamp Program is increasingly complex to administer, and the program's quality control (QC) system largely ignores measures to support working families. Federal restrictions, such as the requirement that States must continue to spend 80 percent of their food stamp employment and training (E&T) funds on a decreasing segment of the population, diminishes the effectiveness of the E&T program. These increasing administrative complexities weaken the ultimate purpose of the program, which is to serve low-income individuals and families.

Electronic Communication Privacy Policy Disclosure
Although the Department of Justice has no authority to sanction businesses that fail to establish privacy disclosure policies, we are concerned about the interplay between online privacy and consumer fraud. The disclosure of personal information in the online environment may unwittingly expose individuals to a host of on- and offline dangers.

Since the Internet offers anonymity not available in the offline world, some individuals are not sufficiently aware of the dangers of disclosing sensitive information in the online environment. The Department has launched a number of initiatives to respond to these issues, including a new Internet Fraud Initiative, which is designed to increase federal pro ... [Read More]
