Mr. McCullagh,

Professor Orin Kerr.  I am writing to ask you make a posting on your 
politech list regarding a symposium that we are hosting on October 23, 
entitled "The Future of Internet Surveillance Law."

I have attached a brochure regarding the event and would be more than happy 
to answer any questions that you might have.  We are truly hoping to have 
an impact on this area of the law and I would greatly appreciate any 
publicity that you could offer.  Please feel fre to contact me for further 
information or to register for the event yourself.

Thank you,

The Future of Internet Surveillance Law

A SYMPOSIUM TO DISCUSS
INTERNET SURVEILLANCE, PRIVACY &
USA PATRIOT ACT

Thursday, October 23, 2003



The George Washington University Law School invites you to join a 
distinguished group of leading scholars and practitioners to discuss what 
Congress should do with the statutory laws that govern internet 
surveillance, such as the Wiretap Act, the Electronic Communications 
Privacy Act, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Congressional debate over internet surveillance laws has been hindered by a 
surprising lack of legal scholarship, which could help Congress as it 
considers various reform initiatives. As the events of September 11, 2001 
and the passage of the USA Patriot Act demonstrate, Internet surveillance 
law is very important, but also quite poorly understood. Our hope is that 
the papers presented at our symposium will have both a practical importance 
for Congress and a theoretical importance for legal scholarship. The topic 
is particularly timely because many of the surveillance provisions of the 
Patriot Act will "sunset" in December 2005 and Congress will be looking for 
advice on how to proceed in the future. We would be delighted if the papers 
presented at our symposium prove helpful.
