handle is hein.gao/gaobaayqu0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO <v ! United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 B-169272 / RESTRICT90 - Not to be released euts| e the 44m Accounting Office except on the basis of speclft6 approval by tho Office of Congressional Relations. Logistics and Communications Division FEBRUARY 15, 1979 ZELEASED The Honorable Stewart B. McKinney House of Representatives Dear Mr. McKinney: Your January 3, 1979, letter requested that the General Accounting Office look into how Calhoun's Collectors SocietybLLr 67/ received the name of Mr. John E. Gerli.?1lSh iletter, Mr. Gerli expressed concern hat--h-i-s--name may have come from a subscribers list * * * when I ordered Carson City silver dollars from the GAO some years back * * *. He also said that an investigation is in order if * * * someone in the GAO * illegally sold a list of the silver dollars subscribers. / As I am sure you know, the General Accounting Office was not involved in the sale of T-he-Carson City silver dollars, nor does it have a list of the bidders for the silver dollars. This, of c6urse, is not- a functLQnor responsibility of our o~ice. The General Services Administration handled the sale of Carson City silver dollars. This sale, as well as the issue of releasing Government mailing lists, was discussed in our August 25, 1977, report to Congressman Charles A. Vanik. (See enc. I.) In our report, we point out that release policies for mailing lists are inconsistent among Government agencies. For example, the General Services Administration considers bidders lists to be public infor- mation and, therefore, makes them available upon request. (This includes the bidders list for the Carson City silver dollars.) However, the Bureau of the Mint, which also sells coins, views the release of its mailing list as an unwarranted invasion of privacy; therefore, its mailing list is not released.
