A useful exercise for this group might be to compile a list of questions that they *should* answer if they're playing it straight. These could be forwarded to the review committee, too. If we come up with a good list, I'm willing to submit it to them. For that matter, I'll submit it to one of the gentleman from NSA who gave the Clipper presentation at Bell Labs. (But I won't bother sending in ``when did you stop beating your spousal equivalent unit'' questions; there's no point to doing that in this venue.)

I've sent this exact question to Dorothy Denning back when they were working on the first report. I think it got lost in the noise. You might want to send it to her directly. They're open to suggestions. The first report contained cycling tests suggested, by I believe, Martin Hellman. -Peter Wayner
