Subject: encryption export bill

According to an article in last week's Wall Street Journal, Sen. Conrad Burns 
planned to introduce a new bill that would ease fed government's crypto export 
rules. 

I'm aware that various groups and individuals have been pushing for a change in 
the export laws for some time now. So I'm looking to find out what's new about 
this bill and what the realistic chances are for its passage. Does anyone have 
any additional information on this or know where I could find some?

Assuming there is news here, I'm also interested in hearing thoughts about this 
bill and its significance (or lack thereof, as the case may be) from any of you 
who follow this area and have an interest in commenting. 

Please email me, either privately or via the list. 

Thanks,
