**[Reuters:](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-encryption-legislation-idUSKCN0YI0EM):**

> Draft legislation that Senators Richard Burr and Dianne Feinstein, the Republican and Democratic leaders of the Intelligence Committee, had circulated weeks ago likely will not be introduced this year and, even if it were, would stand no chance of advancing, the sources said.
