A group of 37 companies and trade and privacy associations sent a letter to Al Gore yesterday, complaining about Clipper-II and crypto export controls, and promising to send their own policy proposals to Congress and the Administration within six months. It's a short story. I'll leave the exact text to John Young :-). I've heard that there's a better story in the Washington Post today, too. I expect we'll see the letter itself within a day or two.
