WASHINGTON (Reuter) -- The House
Commerce Committee Wednesday rejected a
far-reaching proposal requiring all data
scrambling products to include a backdoor
allowing government access to otherwise secure
computer files and communications.
On a vote of 35-16, members of the panel voted
against an amendment from Mike Oxley,
Republican of Ohio, to impose such controls.
