Increasing Use Of Data Telecommunications

Calls For Stronger Protection

And Improved Economies



The increasing use of data telecommunications net-
works for transmissions between computer systems
and remote terminals heightens the concern about
maintaining confidentiality of personal and other
sensitive data.


Protection of data transmissions can be strengthened
by revising laws pertaining to wiretapping and by
strengthening executive level policies and guidelines.
Rapid and uncoordinated growth of data telecom-
munications in the civil Government has resulted in
duplicative and costly dedicated networks.

GAO believes that a properly designed common-
user data telecommunications network has the po-
tential for significant savings and improved data
transmission protection compared to continued use
of certain existing single agency data networks.
