We proposed to make the common standard for Russia and USA. This proposition was supported by the Information Technologies Department of the Russia State Committee of Standards. We've sent this proposal to the presidential team of the US President Mr. W. Clinton in Jan 1993.

Whooaa! Slow.... Please remember that the former SU is full of "companies" that claim to be *the* whatever national initiative of Russia.
