The first day of the conference, which focused on the current status of criminal history records, provided information on specific aspects of the Brady Act and the National Child Protection Act, such as requirements the acts impose on States and successful implementation and operation of similar statewide programs. The "Welcome" address emphasized that an important side benefit of both acts is their focusing of attention on the adequacy of criminal records systems, mainly their accuracy, completeness, and shareability. The next three speakers set the stage for a discussion of the Brady Law from the Federal agency perspective.

Two panels discussed existing systems, with attention to current presage firearms checks and the role of the courts.
