publication advocates five major items:
o Passage of ProCode/SAFE legislation, allowing U.S. companies to
export unlimited strength cryptography, free from "Key Recovery".
Key Recovery means messages are no longer a secret, because the
Government has screwed around with it.
o Killing the CALEA legislation, which orders all communications
equipment be DESIGNED so the Government can spy on it.
o Dismantling domestic ECHELON, the Government listening in on our
domestic phone calls.
o A Cabinet-level U.S. Privacy Commission, with teeth.

The "average" American has no idea why cryptography is important to them.
It is the only way to begin preventing massive illegal domestic spying.
Currently, there are no restrictions on domestic use of unlimited strength
cryptography. That is not because the Government hasn't complained about
child pornographers or terrorists or other criminals who might use it.
No, that's the reason they are giving for why U.S. companies can't EXPORT
products, such as web browsers, outside U.S. territory, without compromising
it with Government "Key Recovery"; i.e. made stupider and breakable.
Why such an indirect control on what they claim is a domestic
