Now is the time for action. Please read the following note that I received
this morning and respond by writing, calling, or e-mailing your
Congressional Representatives!!

Hi: I just read a note you posted about the availability of FR to
Federal (D)epository Libraries (FDL)(yes, ASU is one). Besides letting you
know the correct name of the program (minor since most non-libraries
don't even know it exists... congrats to you on your knowledge) BUT also
to let you know that this part of the program is in trouble. Recent House
of Rep. action eliminated 1.5Million from this specific program to bring
GPO into the electronic world. If you and you fellow collegue in the area
of funding/grants can contact you Senators (i.e. if you culd put out the
word on you listserved that your grants epople read) asking that they
specifically reinstate the funding for the 1.5 M to "distribution of govern-
ment information to Federal Depository Libraries in electronic form", we
can hopefully get the money put back and FR and other gov. info up and
out in electronic so people like you can make use of it thru the FDLs.
For more information Contact Anne Heanue, ALA Washington Office
(202)547-4440 or call me. ANY help quickly would be really appreciated.

If you could share this with others at your campus who would also be
interested in the electronic Federal Register (such as Legal Council, or
Government Relations), we could possible generate quite a response.
Below, I have included some information from Gopher that lists all of the
Reps. who have email. There is not a similar list for the Senate; only two
Senators use e-mail! There is always the snail mail!
UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
CONSTITUENT ELECTRONIC MAIL SYSTEM
We welcome your inquiry to the House of Representatives
Constituent Electronic Mail System. Currently, twenty-seven Members
of the U.S. House of Representatives have been assigned public
electronic mailboxes that may be accessed by their constituents.
The results of the six month public mail pilot have been very
encouraging. The nature and character of the incoming electronic
mail has demonstrated that this capability will be an invaluable
source of information on constituent opinion. We are now in the
process of expanding the project to other Members of Congress, as
technical, budgetary and staffing constraints allow.
A number of House committees have also been assigned public
electronic mailboxes. The names and electronic mailbox addresses
of these committees are listed below after the information about
participating Representatives.
Please review the list of participating Representatives
below, and if the Congressional District in which you reside is
listed, follow the instructions below to begin communicating by
electronic mail with your Representative. If your Representative
is not yet on-line, please be patient.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONSTITUENTS
The list above includes the electronic mail addresses of
members who are participating in the program. However, if
your Representative is taking part in the project, we
request that you send a letter or postcard by U.S. Mail to that
Representative at the address listed above with your name and
internet address, followed by your postal (geographical) address.
The primary goal of this program is to allow Members to
better serve their CONSTITUENTS, and this postal contact is the
only sure method currently available of verifying that a user is a
resident of a particular congressional district.
In addition, constituents who communicate with their
Representative by electronic mail should be aware that Members
will sometimes respond to their messages by way of the U.S. Postal
Service. This method of reply will help to ensure
confidentiality, a concern that is of upmost importance to the
House of Representatives.
