-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Many of you know that members of Philip Zimmermanns defense team traveled recently to San Jose to meet with the Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) assigned to the Zimmermann investigation. This was done for the purpose of persuading the AUSA not to indict. In the hope of avoiding speculation and misinformation, I write now to report that the meeting was cordial, that the AUSA listened carefully and agreed to consider our arguments, and that we dont know when a decision will be made. The defense effort continues and remains in need of financial support. Before the trip to San Jose, one generous person donated a plane ticket from his own frequent-flyer miles. This contribution was timely and much appreciated and shows a way for people to contribute without digging into their pocketbooks. More travel will be necessary during the next month or two, and if there is an indictment, a great deal of travel will be necessary. Any new contributions, including plane tickets, will be received with gratitude. It may seem odd, given the nature of the case, that the defense effort does not have its own Web page, ftp site, or other electronically-accessible source of information. Keep in mind that youre dealing with a lawyer who tends not to do things without considerable deliberation. The investigation has only been going on for two years. Im working on it. Government investigators may seek to interview people. It would be helpful to us to hear from such people. The government is not required to, and will not, tell us what its up to. Our only source of information is people whove been questioned. There is nothing wrong with such folks telling us about their interviews, and it helps us a great deal. I therefore ask that anyone who has been approached and/or interviewed by any federal investigator about Mr. Zimmermann contact me. My email is dubois@csn.org, my phone is 303-444-3885, and my mail address is 2305 Broadway, Boulder, CO, 80304-4132. Ill close by offering thanks. Mr. Zimmermann and I very much appreciate the warm reception we were accorded by the Cypherpunks while we were in California. And we are deeply grateful for all your generous contributions of financial and other support. Your appreciation of the importance of Mr. Zimmermanns case to the wider causes of privacy and individual liberty is encouraging. Philip L.
