The Digital Commerce Society of Boston
Presents
Mr. Stewart Baker,
Steptoe & Johnson
formerly General Counsel, the National Security Agency
"The Clinton Administration's Latest Encryption Policy
and What It Means for Digital Commerce"
Tuesday, April 1, 1997
12 - 2 PM
The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston
One Federal Street, Boston, MA
Mr. Baker will discuss the details of the Clinton Administration's latest
encryption policy, which seeks to encourage "key recovery" encryption by
offering special export privileges to companies that support key-recovery
systems. He will also discuss the reaction of American high-tech
companies, foreign governments and consumers.
Mr. Baker, formerly General Counsel of the National Security Agency, has an
international and technology practice at Steptoe & Johnson in Washington,
DC. He is a frequent contributor to WIRED and other publications on topics
such as encryption, national security and Internet law.
This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on
Tuesday, April 1, 1997 from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the
Harvard Club of Boston, One Federal Street. The price for lunch is
$27.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, and the speaker's lunch.
;-). The Harvard Club *does* have dress code: jackets and ties for men,
and "appropriate business attire" for women.
We will attempt to record this meeting and put it on the web in RealAudio
format at some future date
We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really*
know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by

payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be
sent back.

Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard
Club of Boston".
If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've
had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance),
please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something
out.
