Saw this relevant story on news.com on 4/30/97.
"A House subcommittee today approved a
bill that would remove most of the Clinton
administration's current restrictions on the export of
encryption technology. "
". . . intended to eliminate the White
House's export regulations on strong encryption,
basically letting software vendors export crypto
technology of any strength provided that it is being
used for legal purposes. "

The following bill is up for consideration by the Congress.
At first blush, it appears considerably better than the
current encryption regulations. It prohibits mandatory
key escrow...
