Based on his previous press releases, I think it's fair to say so. But let's copy his aide and ask. -Declan On Thu, Oct 19, 2000 at 09:30:55PM -0500, Mac Norton wrote:

Justice Department Carnivore Review a Sham? posted by cicero on Thursday October 19, @05:44PM from the say-could-it-be-an-election-year? dept.
Dick Armey, House majority leader and Republican firebrand, is once again making trouble for the Clinton administration. Armey this afternoon sent a letter to Attorney General Janet Reno, saying that the Justice Department's review of Carnivore appears somewhat less than objective: "I have questioned the independence of this review. Several in the media have questioned this review. Several universities refused to submit review proposals because, in their opinion, the review process was unfair." Having the supposedly secret names of the government-affiliated reviewers revealed last month sure didn't help. Neither did the information in the Carnivore documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. (Armey's letter is below.)
