    EFF has published an unofficial transcript of the hearing in front of
    three judges at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on
    December 8.  The hearing discussed whether the export controls on
    cryptography are an unconstitutional prior restraint on publication.

    There is no news on the judges' decision from that hearing.
