Just received this snippet of an article in Sunday's Washington Post. The authors are being contacted to see if permission can be obtained to post the entire piece.
Full cite is Washington Post Business section, pages H1,H4, Sunday, May 30, 1993. Byline is John Mintz and John Schwartz, Washington Post staff writers. Near the end, it reads:
"Administration sources said if the current plan doesn't enable the NSA and FBI to keep on top of the technology, then Clinton is prepared to introduce legislation to require use of its encryption technology, which is crackable by the NSA, and to ban use of the uncrackable gear. 'It's an option on the table,' said a White House official."
