Coalition Letter to Senate Judiciary on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (March 2012)

We write to urge that the Senate Judiciary Committee promptly hold confirmation hearings on President Obama’s nominees to the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB). As you know, as of December of last year, President Obama has nominated a full bipartisan slate of five nominees to serve on the Board … While many of our organizations do not take positions endorsing or opposing any specific candidates, we all agree it is critical that this Committee and the full Senate act quickly to move forward with the confirmation process and allow the PCLOB to begin its important work.
