<div>Hello Dave:</div><div><br></div><div>On <span tabindex="0" class=""><span class="">Monday, November 17</span></span>
the New America Foundation will be hosting a debate on the topic of FBI
Director Comey’s criticisms of Apple and Google for the encryption
changes to their phones. The moderator will be Nancy Libin, formerly of
both CDT and the Department of Justice.</div><div><br></div><div>Former
FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann will be presenting the Comey side
of the argument. Andrew is an experienced litigator, former head of the
Enron Task Force and other major prosecutions. I was in school years
ago with Andrew, and the debate will be on the merits but not personal.
With that said, only the best arguments will work.</div><div><br></div><div>With
that in mind, I was wondering if readers of your list might send
(off-list) resources to prepare for the debate? Many people, in diverse
outlets, have been writing about these topics. Although I am currently
in the midst of hiring a full-time researcher, I don’t have that help
at the moment.</div><div><br></div><div>If useful, I could circulate a bibliography once the debate happens.</div><div><br></div><div>For those in DC, the debate will be <span tabindex="0" class=""><span class="">4:00 to 5:30 p.m.</span></span> at <span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:12px">New America, address 1899 L St. NW #400. it will be webcast, and may be on C-Span.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:12px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:12px">Thanks,</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:12px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:12px">Peter</span></div><br></div>
