Even if he doesn't, I don't think Clinton will sign it (in its present,
export enabling, criminal sentence enhancing) form.
The scary thing is that <sarcasm> great lover of the technology industry
and the Bill of Rights </sarcasm) Senator Finestein will pass a bill in
Oxley form through the senate, and the bill that goes to Clinton will be
written in the conference committee. It's as scary as letting the
congresscritters hold a constitutional convention.
[My spell checker gave me the option of "Replace" for "Finestein". I was
tempted.]
