The Privacy Act of 1974 was fundamentally drafted by Congress based on "Fair Information Practice Principles" (FIPPs) developed by a committee including Willis Ware, David B. H. Martin, and Carole Parsons. It was introduced in the Senate by Sam Ervin and passed in late 1974. In 1976, following the Act's passage, the Privacy Protection Study Commission (created by the act) conducted studies through 1976 and 1977, leading to further recommendations for amending the Act. https://justice.gov/opcl...
