I was not aware of this proposal as presented by the new Administration. Your letter does reveal that you are very knowledgeable in the details of the "Clipper Chip". You have expressed clearly the impact the "Clipper Chip" technology and program would have on government and private business. I will seek more information concerning this new initiative from the Clinton Administration. I appreciate being made aware of this proposal and learning of your specific insights. With kind regards, I am Sincerely, /*signed*/ John Warner 8<-------- End transcript ------------ Paul Ferguson | Boycott AT&T, Network Integrator | Write your elected Centreville, Virginia USA | Representatives. fergp(a)sytex.com | Do the right thing.

Hey again, all. I've RTFM'd, and I don't even know if it can be done, but does anyone know how I can have pgp display the un-encrypted AND the decrypted parts of a message? Lets say my message goes like this: This is a plaintext message to tell you stuff that needs not be private. BTW, can you find the subliminal message? ;^)j -------- begin pgp block ----- asdfkasjd;fThEjsflajslfjaslfjadfajs;flasjdaslfjasldfjalsj asjlgfiuituqoNsAj;slkjasdifuoejrqlwfiasuokjel;rqwiuasdsii asdfasljdflasjfdSuXsldfjalsjljeqljerwljrlejqlwjerlqwjerlq elqrkjlasjl 134as -------- end pgp block ------- Thanx a lot Yours virtually, +-----------------------+-----------------------------+---------+ | J.

CALLER ID?
by Sandy 15 May '93

15 May '93

_________________________________________________________________ SANDY SANDFORT ssandfort(a)attmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cypherpunks, You think CALLER ID isn't available where you live? Think again. Any time you call an 800 number, regardless of where you live, your number is captured by ANI (Automatic Number Identification) and given to the owners of the 800 number. This includes the various "crime stopper" snitch lines that claim "we don't want your name, just the pusher's." A special 800 number has been set up to demonstrate this. It's: 1-800-235-1414 Call it, and it will recite your phone number back to you. It then gives a pitch for two worthwhile items--a 900 phone number service that lets you make calls which cannot be traced by ANI, and FULL DISCLOSURE, a privacy oriented magazine. If you leave your name and address, you will be sent FULL DISCLOSURE info. Check it out, S a n d y (arbitration volunteer) >>>>>>>> Please address e-mail to: ssandfort(a)attmail.com <<<<<<<< _________________________________________________________________

NPR coverage of Clipper/PGP 5/14/93
by Phil Fry 14 May '93

14 May '93

In the hopes that this can reach at least some of you before NPR airs locally, there is a reasonably in-depth discussion of Clipper (its problems), PGP (its benefits), etc. at about 50 minutes into the program today (5/14/93).

(Damn >analog jam box. :-) > >-eric As soon as I read this (and thankfully the toad.com machine was sending stuff through in a timely way), I flicked on KQED (San Francisco), where the NPR report was already underway. The hacker spokesman was, I think, a "Fred Davis." An unimpressive interview, in my opinion. Confusing stuff about how if your computer has "wires going into it, hackers can get in" (paraphrased from the hacker's comments, not the interviewers). Perhaps the time allotted was just too short to make any reasonable points. Those who didn't hear it, didn't miss much. -Tim May -- Timothy C.

Re: Navigation Prblems and Laptops...
by smb＠research.att.com 14 May '93

14 May '93

There are NO documented reports of malfunction of navigational or other instruments on aircraft due to personal electronic devices. The FAA has done studies and conducted investigations and they do not have a singledocumented case of interfence. (Lovely what you can learn from TV thses days) According to one report (in the NY Times, I believe), SwissAir reports one incident where the apparent interference not only stopped when electronic devices were turned off, it resumed when the pilot gave permission for people to start using them again. ``Documented'' is the wrong word. There have been plenty of cases of trouble attributed to electromagnetic interference; what's lacking is controlled studies that demonstrate an effect, as opposed to anecdotal evidence from the pilots of various aircraft.
