Many of you may remember Stuart Baker from the crypto export policy
wars. I still remember him telling me in a conversation after a New
York Bar Association debate on the subject that the Internet would
never be of any economic importance. Anyway, without further comment:

   The President intends to nominate Stewart A. Baker, of Virginia, to be
   an Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security (Policy). Mr. Baker is

   for the National Security Agency. Earlier in his career, he was a law
   clerk for Justice John Paul Stevens, U.S. Supreme Court. Mr. Baker
   received his bachelor's degree from Brown University and his J.D. from
