Quote – Thacher Longstreth, president of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and former Republican city councilman

Finally, you should be appraised of the need for security and secrecy to research and develop products. In many, many instances, such security would be unattainable under Bill 270. The lack of privacy and security would strike the hardest at our great and large corporations which research and develop most of the new products which enhance our health and quality of living.

Thacher Longstreth, president of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, from a letter to Councilman David Cohen.
