A BXA spokesperson said today that the text of the recent
Wassenaar agreement had been received yesterday and it is
now being prepared for release on the BXA website
(www.bxa.doc.gov) maybe by the end of the week but maybe
not until next week. She said she expected the US to be the
first to publish the doc, after I cited the WA message below
from Caspar Bowden.
She also said that the Practising Law Institute (www.pli.edu)
session on encryption controls yesterday was taped and inquiries
should be made to PLI (a continuing legal ed org)
1-(800) 260-4PLI. And that Bill Reinsch did not participate in
the session, only gave the speech on Dec 7 noted here
yesterday:

A call to PLI (Betty Gray) has not been returned.

Mr. Weicke is still away, however, I can assure you that the Secretariat has
been recently authorized by all member states to publish the new Lists on
the web site. This will be done as soon as possible. Please be patient, we
are a very small Secretariat.
