Your privacy is very important to me, and my office will never disclose any information about you unless you specifically request it. When you visit my web site, the computer system of the U.S. House of Representatives automatically collects certain information; the domain from which you accessed the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account), the date and time you visited my site and the pages you viewed. These notations are for web site management purposes only and will never be shared with anyone.

If you use this site to send me e-mail, my office will store the information you provide. Your name, address, e-mail address and the text of your message to me are kept strictly confidential. Under federal law, my office is prohibited from sharing, selling or disclosing your personal information to anyone. I will use this information only to communicate with you about official Congressional business, such as bills being debated in Congress, or to help you with a federal agency.

If you have any questions, please call my office closest to you (Chattanooga 423-756-2342 or Oak Ridge at 865-576-1976).
