It's a Wired News item by Chris Jones
"AUSTIN, Texas - "Government key recovery is the devil."

key-recovery infrastructure in the United States. Representative Bob

Senate legislation called the Promotion of Commerce Online in the Digital
Era (Pro-CODE) Act fell victim to a Clinton administration counterattack."
