NIST Contact Info and Online Resources

NIST is the agency responsible for approving Clipper/Skipjack (aka EES -
Escrowed Encryption Standard) as a Federal Information Processing
Standard.  I dug up the following contact info from a fax NIST sent and
from spending a while poking around on their servers.
