Wassenaar Arrangement

Has anyone had any luck finding the actual text of the Wassenaar
Arrangement? The Arms Control & Disarmament Agency has a summary/factsheet
available on its web site (mirrored, I believe, on JYA's web site) but I
haven't been able to find a copy of the actual text. I spoke with someone
this morning at the ACDA who said that the actual text "has not been
released by our government" and that to his knowledge it had not been
publicly released by any government. I'm faxing a FOIA request to their
legal folks this morning (talked to someone in their general counsel's
office who said he wasn't sure if it was available via FOIA or not) but I
suspect I won't get it.

Has anyone actually seen the text of the thing?

Here's a ref Peter Gutmann provided on Wassenaar:

	http://www.sipri.se/projects/armstrade/wass_initialelements.html

No mention of crypto, probably because appendix 5 is missing:

: Appendix 5
: 
: SIPRI NOTE: Appendix 5 consists of a List of Dual-Use Goods and
: Technologies and a Munitions List. These documents will be appended
: once obtained.

There is my hand writting memo of (a part of, not full)
appendix 5.  If no one say URLs for appendix 5, I will
upload it here.

I've asked a friend at the State Department to send me a copy of the
Arrangement. I'll forward it if it appears in my inbox.

I also talked a little about the Wassenaar Arrangement, or at least
Japan's interpretation of it, in a Netly article in late October. Check
out http://netlynews.com/ in the Politics archive.

Oh, Lucky.  I'm looking forward to seeing it.

"The Wassenaar Arrangement" ... 
really sounds like the title of a bad Robert Ludlum novel

rather than a "respectable" document a "respectable" government would sign,
much less a quasi-treaty that they want to pretend has legal force...
