-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just heard that the Venona intercepts haven't all been decrypted, and that the reason for that was there "wasn't enough budget to do so". Is that "not enough budget" to apply the one-time pads they already have, or is that the once-and-futile exercise of "decrypting" ciphertext with no one-time pad to go with it?
