<div>
<div class="yiv1870973299MsoNormal">Our most important concern is the feature
that it appears to seek adding 25 years to the period of
time which the general public cannot access vital
statistics. I understand that many people may see this as
strengthening safeguards against identity theft and creation
of phony identification. In reality all it will accomplish
is making life more difficult for we in the genealogical
community and have little or no effect on those intended
consequences.<span style="font-size:10.0pt;"></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv1870973299MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv1870973299MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">For
a fee you can have a subscription/membership to a web
service that pretty much gives you access to the vital
records of anyone I want information on, the more recent
the information I want the better. In many states this
service provides actual copies of documents. So if the
intent is to protect identification, it is a case of
closing the barn door after the horse is gone. </span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv1870973299MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv1870973299MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">A
further objection is that it appears to be creating a new
level of State government at a time when we can't pay for
what we have. If there are changes that genuinely need to
be made in records keeping, they should be
administratively handled within our current vital
statistics organization.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"></span></div>
