Here is an interesting article that sites a publication on a similar subject. I have copied the first two paragraphs, the rest of the article can be found at theregister.co.uk by either searching for the title using the search box on theregister's front page or by clicking the button for "software" in their banner and scrolling down the page.

Gates, Gerstner helped NSA snoop - US Congressman

A recent report renews claims that the US National Security Agency (NSA) secured the co-operation of IBM and Microsoft in gaining access to encrypted data, and documentation seen by The Register gives a fuller picture of how this may have taken place. In this congressman Curt Weldon makes the astonishing claim that the US military was able to see Saddam Hussein's orders before his commanders did.

According to Cryptography & Liberty 2000, published last week by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC): "On September 28, 1999, Congressman Curt Weldon disclosed that high level deal-making on access to encrypted data had taken place between the NSA and IBM and Microsoft." The Register has seen an unofficial transcript of a luncheon meeting on Capitol Hill of the Internet Caucus Panel Discussion about the new encryption policy that provides some elaboration.
