[5] The FBI Files Scandal and the Privacy Act of 1974--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In early June, the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee
revealed that the White House had requested the FBI file on former
Travel Office employee Billy Dale. Soon after, it was also revealed
that the White House had obtained hundreds other individuals' FBI
files. Some of the files requested by the White House were those of
members of previous Republican administrations. So far, 481 files are
known to have been sent to the White House and there are unconfirmed
reports of hundreds more. The White House is claiming that the files
were obtained as part of a bureaucratic mistake.

The White House and the FBI quickly apologized for their action. White
House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta said, "A mistake has been made here.
It is inexcusable and I think an apology is owed to those that were
involved." FBI Director Louis J. Freeh described the disclosure of
files as an "egregious violations of privacy" and noted that "the FBI
gave inadequate protection to the privacy interests of persons in FBI
files."
