The final offer asks President Bill Clinton to immediatelyallow exports of so-called strong encryption products to "legitimate and responsible organizations" worldwide, such as foreign financial institutions, telecommunications companies and utilities.

The offer also asks the president to state in writing that the government will not impose domestic controls on encryption. FBI director Louis Freeh and some lawmakers last year urged Congress to ban encryption products that did not include a "back door" allowing law enforcers to covertly crack any coded message.
