From November 9 Congressional Record:
Rep. Sherman on encryption exports and domestic controls: http://jya.com/sher-crypto.txt (15K) Rep. Dreier on need for strong encryption to protect national security: http://jya.com/dreier-crypto.txt (4K) ---------- Declan, anyone, is this flood of statements due to an industry campaign, or one by Majortiy Leader Lott, or Speaker Gingrich, or a combination, or what? What's your insider intel, Declan, will these initiatives continue into the next session or are they just cheap dues paying for the moment, while getting ready to sellout when the rain of if-you-knew-what-we've-been-briefed shit showers down next year? What's Kerrey, McCain, Solomon counter-campaigning with the TLAs?
