Cong-II Short Description.
Cong-II is a congressional database and automatic
correspondence generator. Cong-II allows you to locate Senate and
House members by name, state, district, party, body, age, gender,
birthdate (month and day), committee, subcommittee, etc. Once a
member has been located, telephone, contact and other information is
available.
You may tag members to receive correspondence at most any
screen. To create letters, you may utilize the built-in editor,
which includes a spell checker. You may then generate properly
addressed, personalized correspondence to each tagged member, with
or without a FAX cover sheet, by pressing Alt-P. The letters may be
formatted for windowed envelopes, if desired. Letters may be
printed to a file for import into your preferred word processor, if
desired.
Cong-II is ShareWare. The registration fee is
$25.00. Ths latest version and data may be downloaded from the ICS BBS
(Long Island, NY) (516) 226-3727 (9600+) or 226-3989 (2400). You
may also register via ICS.
