From IEEE Software, Nov, 1996, page 103, 2nd column:
"Key Decisions Likely On Encryption Exports" by Stephen Barlas In fact, should he win, Clinton may go on the offensive. Goodlatte, whose bill is the House companion (HR 3011) to the Burns bill, said the Clinton administration told him that if the computer industry does not agree to a key management infrastructure, the President will seek legislation forcing Americans to use only encryption to which the government has access. Of course, this intention (to outlaw all non-GAK/KRAP) has been the desires of FBI/CIA/NSA all along, so no big surprise. I just would hate to see Congressional leaders cave in because of the "threat" of the administration's bozos attempting to introduce more restrictive legislation. The old "if we want 5, we demand 10, and we'll get 5 in the compromise" plan is really screwy and dishonest. Ern
