I have read with interest the recent dialogue concerning
export controls. A lot of things go on wrt the Ada Software
Repository that I don't relay to the net, and two such things included
two security/activity checks which were made by two separate DoD
organizations over the last several months. The ASR received a clean
bill of health from both independent checks, even to the extent where
we have a letter (yes, in writing!) authorizing the tape distribution
to both US organizations and foreign, non-hostile
organizations/countries in our hands.
I have forwarded the recent messages to Chris McDonald, a
security specialist at WSMR who conducted one of those checks.
While I am no security specialist, I am quite satisfied with
the results of these checks and Chris' message, and ASR activity will
continue as per the norm until the situation changes. The August 86
issue of "The Institute" by the IEEE (this is Vol 10, Number 8) has a
front-page article entitled "Air Force Proposal to Restrict Databases
Faces Stiff Opposition". If the Air Force gets its way, the situation
could change. I will also send excerpts from this article in a
following message.
