I found the document (exec summary) refered to by the first url well worth scanning in full Dave Date: Wed, 31 Jul 1996 18:15:00 GMT To: cypherpunks () toad com From: jya () pipeline com (John Young) A positive excerpt from UK's House of Lords's July 23 lengthy, thoughtful report on the information society: http://www.hmsoinfo.gov.uk/hmso/document/inforsoc/ch5.htm#5.92 5.92 The US Government's restrictions on exporting software from the USA which includes high levels of encryption is threatening to become a major barrier to the development of the information Superhighways, which is in no-one's interests. The Government must join with other EU Member States in putting pressure on the USA to relax its restrictions on the export of encryption technology.
