     Canada (crypto policy discussion paper), France (Lorentz report),
     Gemany (Sandl statement; no backdoor in Pluto), Israel (export
     revision), Netherlands (proposals to extend decryption command;
     TTP project; encrypt to "seize"; use remains free), Scandinavia
     (PSS no longer Nordic), United Kingdom (policy announcement
     delayed; SfL resolution), United States (interim export rule;
     California resolution; czar travels; Compsec Enhancement Act;
     Kerrey McCain revised; AES conference) 
-corrections on Estonia (controls were reported), Switzerland (telecom > radio)
-clarification on Wassenaar Arrangement (General Software Note),
     Germany (export), Israel (case-by-case decisions), Sweden
