Fellas, Don't flame me for asking. It's just that in following this guy I cannot get very close to those who have met with the crypto czar - except in Japaan where sources have gotten me pretty close to the man's activities. . . I'm trying to finish up the research for a piece on Aaron who has been meeeting with Western Allies to get them on-board the key escrow program that the Clinton Administration has mindelessly pursued since the first week of its reign. Aaron has been all over, visiting UK, Japan and Germany and Australia - meeting different kinds of receptions, most visibly successful in Japan. All I am asking here is if anyone has contacts at important labs or government ministries where Aaron might have been received. I've got to have my ducks lined up before I interview him.
