I am a member of the <A HREF="http://www.acm.org/">Association for Computing Machinery</A>, and I have been a member of the <A href="http://www.eff.org/"> Electronic Frontier Foundation</A> when my finances permitted.  I support many  of the ideas espoused by the League for Programming Freedom, although I am not  a member.  I try to be as actively involved in promoting civil liberties in  cyberspace as my spare time allows.  I am a strong supporter of free, strong,  and open public key encryption.  Ask me about <A HREF="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/pgp.html">PGP</A>  (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption.</P>
