We've put the new Senate Pro-CODE encryption bill at: http://jya.com/s377.htm (23K)

There is an interesting addition to the bill that I have not seen discussed here yet. The pro-code bill has added an "Information Security Board". This provision worries me. It sound like a nice little rubber hose committee. ("The House Committee on Unamerican Encryption"?)

Any opinions on this new development?

As long as Senator Charlie McCarthy is heading the committee, then I can't foresee any problems. (But, for the record, I do not know Alan Olsen, and have never been associated with him personally, or member of any group with which he is associated.) Excuse me, I hear a pounding on the door... -- Toto ----------------------------- "The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre" http://bureau42.base.org/public/xenix/xenbody.html
