introduced
his own bill (Senator Kerrey co-sponsor) which parrots the Clinton
administration's position and forced it to replace the Pro-Code bill.

He banged the Drum of War against Child Pornography.

*   In the end, it was child pornography that derailed encryption legislation
*   in the U.S. Senate and dealt a bitter defeat to crypto supporters.
*   
*   Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), committee chair and chief sponsor of the
*   measure, led the attack, saying Congress must "stop child pornography
*   on the Internet."
*   
*   He warned that "allowing encryption to be exported would permit child
*   pornographers to use it."
*   
*   "If it's being used for child pornography? Are we going to say
*   that's just fine? That's it's just business? I don't think so."
*   
*   Sen. John Ashcroft (R-MO) tried to disagree. "It's like photography. We're
*   not going to [ban] photography if someone takes dirty pictures."
*   
*   At this point, one of the more deaf committee members asked,
*   "Pornography? Are we going to ban pornography?"
*   
*   The Senate Commerce Committee then approved McCain's bill.
*
*   For a committee whose bailiwick is commerce, the senators seemed somewhat
*   detached from their mandate with business taking a backseat.
