If you provided your postal mailing address, Senator Hutchison will
respond to your comments or concerns by regular mail.
Congress wishes to set an example for us by not using crypto stuff like PGP
themselves, being as it's the stuff of pedophiles and whatnot.

Subject: Rule: Re: The Encryption Issue...
Thank you very much for your Internet message to Senator Kay Bailey
Hutchison.
If you provided your postal mailing address, Senator Hutchison will
respond to your comments or concerns by regular mail.
Again, thank you for contacting Senator Hutchison via the Internet.
** Office of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX) **
The reason political members ask for a postal mailing address
is so that they can find out which physical district you represent.
None of them respond very well without knowing this context.
Sad, isn't it.

Trying to keep the signal to noise ratio down... (too late) - sorry
I did identify myself as being from CANADA, living in CANADA.
I was astonished that I could not get a response via email.
Again, sorry for the noise...
