> We are confident that there are technical solutions that will allow lawful access to encrypted data and communications by law enforcement without materially weakening the security provided by encryption.

False.

Also "technical solutions" makes it sound like the issue is in inventing the correct encryption scheme. Whereas in reality the issue exists because we have discovered (currently) unbreakable codes, and the invention of broken (backdoored) schemes does little to change that.

If we break all known forms of encryption, and find a reasonable proof that they are no longer possible, then I'll be more interested in this line of reasoning. And that's a pretty big if.
