Back-patting with Freeh on CALEA:

patted

Harmful to minors was supporting the White "compromise." Clipper "no
objection" is in a memo. You can find those for yourselves.
Don't get me wrong. Alan is a very pleasant fellow and CDT seems to be
changing somewhat in recent years. But a look at the group's history is
instructive.
