I guess it all depends on what "entities" means:
Permit the exportation of non-defense encryption (above 64 bits) to
responsible entities and governments of North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO), Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
And what about nationalized industries, are they
part of the government? If so, then I can't imagine
that distinction gowing over very well... Airbus can
get strong crypto but boeing can't?
