> COMPROMISE BILLS ON DATA ENCRYPTION
> Legislation has been introduced in both the House and Senate to permit the
> export of data encryption hardware and software if similar technology is
> available from foreign suppliers. The bills affirm the right of U.S.
> citizens to use any type of encryption equipment domestically, and prohibit
> the mandatory use of special keys that would allow law enforcement officials
> access to encrypted messages. In addition, the legislation would make it a
> crime to use encryption technology in the commission of a crime. (New York
> Times 4 Mar 96 C6)
Does anybody know bill number, who the sponsors are and their phone/FAX
numbers? I would like to call to support the bill.
