I would have suggested even being as nice as "We'll do the same as MIT does with PGP's distrobution, or RSA does with RSAREF (just so you'll know, RSA's FTP basicly has a readme file that says "the files in subdir of a dir thats -r+x to you, so if you're a citizen go to dist/usaRANDOM_NUMBER_HERE", thats it). Then make them explain why Netscape should be any different.
MIT reportedly has a letter stating that their systems is okay. The state department wouldn't give us such a letter because they were "currently reevaluating their guidelines", or some such thing.
