[*grrr* I resent any group that purports to represent all
americans and then turns out to only support Big Business.
Instead of being called "Americans for Computer Privacy,"
they should call themselves "Behemoth Industry for Computer
Privacy and To Hell With the Rest of You." - Jay]

Coalition makes final crypto offer
By Reuters
May 15, 1998
WASHINGTON--A private-sector coalition opposed to strict U.S. export
controls on data scrambling technology made its final offer yesterday
to compromise with the Clinton administration, people familiar with
the talks said.
The coalition, known as Americans for Computer Privacy, has been
negotiating with the administration since early March but little
progress has been made thus far to break the years-old stalemate over
encryption export limits.
The final offer asks President Bill Clinton to immediately allow
exports of strong encryption products to "legitimate and responsible
organizations" worldwide, such as foreign financial institutions,
telecommunications firms, and utilities.
