SUMMARY EXPLANATION OF GOVERN - U.S.
GOVERN - U.S. is a software package for writing to
representatives of the U.S. Federal Government.
The name of the program is derived from two
elements: "GOVERN" refers to our special, database
retrieval program; and "U.S." refers to the
particular database of governmental
representatives which is provided with this
version. Hereafter, the program will be referred
to simply as GOVERN. The program provides an
extensive database of all of the principal
representatives in the three branches of the
federal government of the United States of
America: i.e., the Congress, the Executive Branch,
and the Judiciary. GOVERN makes it easy to find
and select the representatives with whom you
desire to communicate, and it automates the
addressing and printing of your letters and
envelopes. Because the program is designed to
work with your existing word processor, it is easy
to learn and convenient to use.
We believe that this is an important program and
should become a standard part of your basic,
communications utilities to be used both as an
individual citizen and as a member of a profession
or other special interest group(s) to which you
belong. By reading this introductory Summary and
by some trial and error on your computer, it will
take about 45 minutes to learn the program.
The database of representatives is up-dated
frequently and revised completely at the end of
the year and after national elections; and you
2
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
will want to keep that timing in mind to determine
if the version which you possess is current. That
can be done by observing, on the diskette, the
date on the database file called US.DB.
This particular copy of GOVERN is a Basic Version
of the program, and it is distributed on a
shareware basis. Our objective is to introduce
you to the program and to encourage your
involvement in the political process by making it
easy to communicate your ideas and opinions to the
proper people. No warranty is provided with this
copy. We encourage you to make unmodified copies
and give them to others. If you use this program
and believe that it is worthwhile, we request that
you obtain a registered copy, which is an Expanded
Version of the program with its enhanced sorting
routines, expanded databases, and the most current
listing of representatives. Also, registration
qualifies you for participating in the Royalty
Trust. The fee for registration is $28. For
registered users, subsequent revisions of the
databases are reduced by 50% of the current list
fee. For details, see the Registration Form on
page 11. Please note that your name and address
and all correspondences with us are confidential;
we do not sell, give, or in any way distribute the
identities of our registrants.
The GOVERN package contains 6 files, 4 of which
are essential to operate the program. These files
are briefly described below. By understanding the
essential files and how they operate, you will
understand how to work the program.
1 - US.DB contains the names, addresses, district
numbers, and other parameters of the members of
the U.S. House of Representatives, the Senate, the
major Executive offices, and the Supreme Court.
There are about 600 citations in all. Because
this file is specifically structured for retrieval
by our system, it should not be modified in any
way.
2 - LETTER.FIL is a sample file which demonstrates
how to construct a letter and envelope, using your
own word processor. To examine its contents, type
3
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
this file from you DOS or retrieve it with your
word processor. Constructing a LETTER.FIL is
fairly straight-forward, however, you must use the
specialized "tagnames" which are required by the
GOVERN program to retrieve names, addresses, and
other parameters of the representatives. Because
you use your own word processor in making the
LETTER.FIL and the SEARCH.FIL, these routines
should be familiar and easy.
3 - SEARCH.FIL is a sample of how you would
construct a file in which you specify the desired
representatives to whom you are sending your
letter. Type this file from your DOS to view its
contents. Note the command statement at the very
top:
.pick. US.DB IDCode.
This tells the program to pick, from the US.DB
file, the IDCodes which are specified below that
command line.
4 - GOVERN.EXE is the program which integrates
your LETTER.FIL and your SEARCH.FIL with the US.DB
to produce the final results. When you execute
the command GOVERN, the program searches the US.DB
for the records which you have specified in the
SEARCH.FIL. When a matching record is found, the
program uses that information to replace the
"tagnames" where you have put them in your
LETTER.FIL. Your letter is then displayed and/or
sent to your printer or a disk file.
5 - MANUAL is the particular file in which you are
now. It explains the program and includes an
index of the representatives. It also explains
the procedures for registration.
6 - README.1ST file is a brief introduction.
1.1 BASIC PROCEDURES AND ROUTINES
4
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
STEP 1 - INSTALLING THE PROGRAM. First, do the
standard procedures for installing any new
software: make a back-up and/or working copy of
the disks; and if you have a hard disk, create a
directory called GOVERN and transfer the files to
it.
STEP 2 - TO EXERCISE THE BASIC COMMAND ROUTINES.
With your computer logged to the program disk or
directory, type and send the following command:
GOVERN
This executes the GOVERN.EXE program; and you will
see a display of the command syntax for the
program, including the various printing options.
Whenever confused or in doubt, you can always send
that command and these instructions will be
displayed.
STEP 3 - TO EXERCISE A COMPLETE SET OF COMMAND.
Next, run the program, using the sample templates
which we have provided. Type the command:
GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCH.FIL
You will see GOVERN searching the specified
database for the specified individuals and
parameter, all of which are defined in the
SEARCH.FIL. When a match is found, the parameters
which are defined in the LETTER.FIL are filled,
and the letter is printed to your screen.
If either step 2 or 3 cannot be made to function,
then there has been an error in transcribing your
copy. Telephone us, give us your Registration
Number, and we will send new copies.
*******8 STEP 4 - TO CONSTRUCT YOUR FIRST
SEARCH.FIL. Now, proceed to make a "search.fil",
which will be one of your basic utilities and
which must be done before you can send a real
communication. In the Index of Representatives
(See page 26), find the IDCodes of your particular
representatives. Both the President and the Vice
President are your representatives; also both of
5
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
the Senators from your state belong to you. Your
member of the House of Representatives is defined
by your district number 1. Take those 5 IDCodes
and, with your own word processor, make a file
called: SEARCHMY.US. With the exception of the
particular IDCodes, your search file should look
something like the example below:
.pick. US.DB IDCode
E-P
E-VP
S-CA-AC
S-CA-PW
CA-RVD
Now, to check the construction of your
SEARCHMY.US, send the command:
GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCHMY.US
That command tells GOVERN.EXE to do the following:
first, using the SEARCHMY.US commands, "pick" from
the US.DB database, using the IDCode field, those
records which have the idcodes which you have
listed below the command line; and then, using the
LETTER.FIL, GOVERN fills in the <tagnames> which
you have specified and it prints your letter
accordingly.
As the program runs, you should see the sample
LETTER.FIL displayed on your screen with them
addressed to your particular representatives. If
it does not work, you have made some error, either
in how you structured SEARCHMY.US, or, you may
have placed SEARCHMY.US on a disk that you did not
define, or something else. Usually, the error
messages will tell you what is wrong.
STEP 5 - TO SEND A REAL COMMUNICATION. Assuming
that step 4 works properly, you are now ready to
----------
1. If you do not know your Representative's name or your
District number, call you local library or city hall and
someone will be able tell you.
6
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
send a real communication. With your word
processor, retrieve the utility file called
LETTER.1. Type in your letter head. Adjust the
<tagnames> as desired, but be sure to leave all of
the <tagnames> which you want because GOVERN needs
those to know what you want from the database and
where you want it. If you are using a window
envelope, adjust the <tagnames> to the proper
positions.
If you intend to use a regular envelope, then use
the utility file which we have provided and which
is called ENVELOPE.1. Adjust the envelope
<tagnames> to your specifications.
You are now ready to run the program. To test
your constructions, type the following command:
GOVERN LETTER.1 SEARCHMY.US
and
GOVERN ENVELOPE.1 SEARCHMY.US
If that does not look correct, make the necessary
changes in those files, and test it again. You
might want to verify precisely how the letters
will look, and to do so, send the following
command:
GOVERN LETTER.1 SEARCHMY.US /out=TEST.FIL
This will create a disk copy of the actual
output. You can then retrieve, with your word
processor, TEST.FIL and review it.
When your construction looks correct, run the
program with the printing options that are
appropriate to your system. For example, if you
are using pin feed paper, then send the following
command:
GOVERN LETTER.1 SEARCHMY.US /p
Or, if you use single sheet paper and need to wait
between each page to insert new paper, then send
the following command:
GOVERN LETTER.1 SEARCHMY.US /P/W
7
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
If you are printing separate envelopes, then after
you have finished with the letters, send the
following command:
GOVERN ENVELOPE.1 SEARCHMY.US /P/W
There are, of course, ways to print the letter and
the envelope contiguously; and there are various
permutations on these basic routines which have
been presented above. Most of them, you can
derive by yourself according to your individual
needs. And many of them will be discussed in the
following material.
These basic instructions should be sufficient for
many people to use the program effectively. If
you desire more details, read the section in the
manual which is entitled EXPANDED EXPLANATION OF
GOVERN.
To correspond with us, you may make a SEARCH.FIL,
use the IDCode tagname GOVERN

REGISTRATION
For a Registered Copy of GOVERN, payment of $28 is
required. That includes the cost of materials, mailing, and
processing. Because The Foundation is a 501(c)3, tax-exempt
entity, payment may be treated as a contribution and
deducted as such from taxable income. For registered users,
subsequent revisions of the program and the databases are
50% of the current list price. If you believe that this is
a worthwhile program, then we urge you to become a
registered user and thereby help to support the costs of
maintaining and expanding this effort. You may order the
registered copy by calling (415) 548-5433 or 845-8341 and by
using your Visa or Master Card. Your Sponsor ID Number
should be on the Registration Form below; and if one is
there, please have the number available when calling. Or,
you may mail the form on the following page.
By ordering a registered copy of GOVERN, you receive three
diskettes, 5 1/4" in size, formatted to MS-DOS 2.0, and
compatible with IBM-PC, -EX, -AT and like systems. One of
the diskettes is a copy of the shareware, Basic Version,
which you can encode with the ID number that has been
assigned to you and which you may give to others, place on
bulletin boards, sell on a shareware basis (i.e., charge
less than $4), or otherwise distribute. The other diskettes
are the Expanded Version of the program which is for your
personal use and which we ask that you DO NOT distribute.
Registration entitles you to participate in the Royalty
Trust. By making and distributing copies of GOVERN to
others, you receive a 10% royalty on the fees which are
donated by those people whom you have sponsored. Details
about the Trust are provided with your registered copy of
GOVERN.

GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
2.2 BACKGROUND
GOVERN - U.S. (aka GOVERN) is produced by the Foundation for
Infinite Survival, Inc. and is distributed as shareware.
The Foundation is private, tax-exempt, non-partisan and
non-sectarian organization, established in 1972. We use the
idea of infinite survival as a general philosophy; and the
enhancement of democratic institutions is one of the
applications in which we are interested. We are
self-supporting, deriving our income from fees-for-services
and individual contributions.
We encourage you to distribute as many copies as you desire
and to obtain a current, registered copy. Contributions for
registered copies are used to support the maintenance and
enhancement of the program. GOVERN is designed and written
by John Givens and C.A. Everone, Im., Ph.D.
To discuss the major, current issues in political philosophy
and the future prospects of government would require an
extended discussion which is beyond the scope or intent of
this document. Let it suffice to state simply that the
United States (and virtually every other nation) is facing
major social, economic, ecological, and historical
challenges, the solutions to which will involve, in large
measure, the political process. And in the most basic of
terms, for you to successfully adapt to and take advantage
of the changes will require your active and on-going
participation in politics. Representative/democratic forms
of government depend on good communication between those who
are being represented and those who are doing the
representation. As our society becomes increasingly more
technological, complex, diversified, and integrated with the
rest of the world, government will play an increasingly
important role in your daily life and the securing of your
long-range future. To help insure that you and your
interests are part of the process and not left behind, you
will have to remain informed and involved, the most basic
form of which is to routinely express your opinions and
ideas on current affairs to your elected and appointed
representatives. GOVERN facilitates that type of
communication, and we believe that this program should be
considered a standard utility in one's correspondence
12
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
software.
People who use GOVERN and who understand how to use their
computer in communicating are in a unique position to have a
major impact on current events and governmental policy. The
idea is to make government and politics a regular part of
your social affairs. Apart from it being important, the
process can be fun, entertaining, and educational. Re-read
the Constitution (a copy is included in the Expanded Version
of GOVERN). Periodically attend your local city counsel
meeting; and if you can, visit your state legislature and
vacation in Washington D.C. Most people now have access to a
tremendous amount of good information from such sources as:
National Public Radio (NPR); Public Broadcasting System's
radio and television network (PBS); Cable News Network
(CNN); certain programs on ABC, NBC, and CBS; and the
newspapers and journals. In particular, The MacNeil/Lehrer
New Report and the general programming on C-Span are
excellent media for knowing the people involved in politics
and the current issues. When you see or hear an issue that
interests you, jot down the names of people and your ideas
on the issues. Then, go to your computer, construct your
thoughts into a short letter, and send it off to your
representatives. Believe it or not, it actually counts to
some degree; and on big issues, individual correspondence
can have a major impact.
Most people have a considerable amount of resistance against
corresponding to governmental representatives; however,
routinely writing to your representatives is mostly a matter
of behaviour formation and over-coming inertia. Once you
become accustomed to doing it, it becomes fairly easy and
does not take much time. In the section entitled
CORRESPONDENCE PROTOCOL, we provide some suggestions on how
to write effective letters.
13
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
2.3 AN EXPANDED EXPLANATION OF GOVERN
Usually, the information in the previous Summary Chapter is
sufficient to begin using the program; and those procedures
will cover most situations. If, however, you want further
details, the following is a more extended discussion of the
procedures for operating the GOVERN program. Necessarily,
there will be some repetition of what has already been said
in the Summary section.
This Basic Version of GOVERN and the information in this
instruction manual is intended for the usual situations in
corresponding to your governmental representatives. The
Enhanced Version of GOVERN includes, in addition to its
expanded database, more sophisticated routines for
searching, sorting, and organizing the database and your
correspondence files; however, those procedures are NOT
explained here.
2.3.1 Set-up and Basic Elements of GOVERN
First, make a working copy of the GOVERN files.
Write-protect your master, and store it in a safe place. If
you give copies to other people, make them from your
master. You may use GOVERN directly from your floppy disk.
If using a hard disk, you will want to make a separate
directory for the files and your individual
correspondences. We suggest naming the directory GOVERN.
To operate the program, you must have four essential files
on you disk: the GOVERN.EXE and US.DB plus a LETTER.FIL and
a SEARCH.FIL. What you name the LETTER.FIL and the
SEARCH.FIL is arbitrary, and you will want to construct
different names that fit particular correspondences. We
suggest that you keep, as is, the LETTER.FIL and the
SEARCH.FIL which we have provided with the program, using
them as reference templates for your other correspondences.
14
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
To observe the proper command syntax for the program, log-on
to the directory which contains the GOVERN files, and send
the following command:
GOVERN
A complete explanation of the program syntax will be
displayed.
To observe how the program works, send the following
command:
GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCH.FIL
To use GOVERN for your own correspondence, first construct
your letter in a "finished" format, inserting at the
appropriate locations the "tagnames" which the program uses
to selectively retrieve, from the database, the desired
elements of a record. For an example of how to construct a
letter and envelope with "tagnames", see the example which
we provide by using the following command: TYPE LETTER.FIL.
After writing your letter, construct a SEARCH.FIL which
identifies the particular representatives to whom you are
sending your letter. Use the INDEX OF REPRESENTATIVES, in
this manual, to find the ID Codes of the individuals whom
you want. We have provided a file called SEARCH.FIL as an
example, which you may use also as a template. Note that
the first line of the SEARCH.FIL must be:
.pick. US.DB IDCode.
This simply tells the program to "pick", from the "US.DB",
the representatives whose "IDCodes" match the ones in this
file. Once you have constructed your "letter.fil" and your
"search.fil", you are ready to run the program. Again, to
obtain the proper syntax of the command statement, simply
send the command GOVERN; and a complete explanation will be
displayed.
In the following sections, those procedures are explained in
greater detail.
15
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
2.3.2 LETTER.FIL - making the letter and envelope
On the program disk, the file called LETTER.FIL is an
example of and can be used as a template for the letter
which you will write and for your envelope, if you decide to
use a typed envelope rather than a window envelope. The
LETTER.FIL file is reproduced below:
**** LETTER TEMPLATE *******************************************
Your Name
Your Street Address
Your City, State, & Zip Code
Date
<FirstName> <LastName>, <Title>
<Organization>
<Street>
<CityState> <ZipCode>
<Telephone>
<Salutation>
THE TEXT OF YOUR LETTER ....
****************************************************************
Construct your letter with your own word processor, making a
"finished or literal" file, which means that all of the
formating commands are removed and the file is literally the
way you want it to look. While writing your letter, insert,
at the appropriate places, the "tagnames" which the GOVERN
program uses to retrieve the selected portions from the
US.DB. The US.DB contains the records on the
representatives. Each record in the US.DB is segmented into
relevant parameters or fields which are called "tagnames"
and which are the following:
<Organization> refers to the branch of government
to which the individual belongs; i.e., House of
Representatives, Senate, the Executive Offices, or
the Supreme Court.
<IDCode> refers to the identification code which
is assigned to each individual and which is most
used to retrieve the records. This tagname is not
16
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
used in the letter but is used in the SEARCH.FIL,
as explained below.
<LastName> refers to the last name of the
representative. Junior and other degrees are
usually not included.
<FirstName> refers to the first name of the
representative. Middle initials are treated as
part of the first name.
<Title> refers to the title of the representative;
i.e. Representative, Senator, President, General,
Secretary, Chief Justice, etc.
<Salutation> is a standardized, generic
salutation. It automatically includes the preface
"Dear", the <Title>, the <LastName> and a ":"
(i.e., Dear <Title> <LastName>:). If you do not
want that construction, make your own by using the
desired tagnames (e.g., <Title> <FirstName>
<LastName>:).
<Street> refers to the building and street address
of the representative. Only Washington, D.C.
locations are in the US.DB.
<CityState> refers to Washington, D.C.
<ZipCode> refers to the Zip Code of the mailing
address.
<Telephone> is the phone number of the office in
Washington, D.C.
<Party> refers to the political party of the
representative. Most of the Executive offices and
all of the Judiciary do not have a designated
political party.
The "tagnames" must be used with these types of brackets <>.
The tagnames may be spelled with upper or lower case, but
there cannot be any spaces in the word. They may be placed
anywhere in your letter; but where they are placed is
exactly where the information will be incorporated into your
letter. Again, see the LETTER.FIL, which is provided with
the programs as an example and template.
17
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
To make an envelope you have several options. First, the
most convenient and efficient way is to use a window
envelope, in which case you simply have to indent the
address in your letter to match the position of the window
of the envelope. Then you can use a pin-feed printer and
not pause for the insertion of single sheets of paper. If
you desire to use an individually typed envelope, then you
have two options: 1 - you may construct the envelope as the
first or last page of your letter, in which case, you will
print the letters and their envelopes sequentially; or 2 -
you may construct a separate file for the envelopes, in
which case, after printing all of your letters, you will
recall the GOVERN program and specify something like the
following command: GOVERN ENVELOPE.FIL SEARCH.FIL. In making
an envelope file you will have to place the appropriate
<tagnames> in the position where you want them printed.
Below is an example and/or template of an ENVELOPE.FIL

2.3.3 MAKING A Search FILE
SEARCH.FIL is the file which you create to retrieve the
specific representatives that you desire to be inserted as
addressees into your letter. You create the SEARCH.FIL with
your own word processor. It must always begin with a
statement which tells the GOVERN program to "pick" from the
"US.DB" a record according to its particular "tagname". See
the following examples below.
EXAMPLE 1 - Using the <IDCode> tagname. Usually, you will use
the IDCode as your tagname, and your SEARCH.FIL will look like
this:
.pick. US.DB IDCode
TX-JB3
S-OH-HM
E-P
J-SC-WR
EXAMPLE 2 - Using the <Party> tagname. If you wished to retrieve
records by political party, your SEARCH.FIL would look like this:
.pick. US.DB Party
Republican
EXAMPLE 3 - Using the <State> tagname. If you wished to retrieve
records by state, your SEARCH.FIL would look like this:
.pick. US.DB State
Oregon
Florida
EXAMPLE 4 - Using the <LastName> tagname. If you wished to
retrieve records by specific last names, your SEARCH.FIL would
look like this:
.pick. US.DB LastName
Wilson
Nunn
Bush
19
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
EXAMPLE 5 - Using a "wildcard" notation (*). In the SEARCH.FIL,
you may use the standard "wildcard" command to truncate a
<tagname>, which would look like this:
.pick. US.DB State
Calif*
That would retrieve all representatives from California.
In the SEARCH.FIL, you may not combine <tagnames>. That
feature is provided in the Enhanced Version of the program.
20
GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version)
February, 1989
2.3.4 EXECUTING THE PROGRAM
GOVERN is the command which executes the GOVERN.EXE program
to go and retrieve from the US.DB the records which you have
selected in the SEARCH.FIL, integrating them into your
LETTER.FIL for printing. To see the syntax of the GOVERN
command, simply type GOVERN, and the program will display
the following menu:
THE CORRECT USAGE IS:
govern <letter-file> <search-file> <options>
............................................................
<letter-file> = the file name of your letter template.
<search-file> = the file of your list of addressees.
<options> = one or more of the options below.
/Print = sends the letters to your printer.
/Wait = pauses between each page.
/Out=<filename> = sends the letters to a disk file.
/ff = form feed if required by your printer.
.------------------------------------------------------------------.
|Note: options must be preceded by a /. They may be upper |

The basic command syntax is the following:
GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCH.FIL
which sends the letter to the display but not the printer.
The expanded command syntax is the following:
GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCH.FIL <options>
in which the <options> command is one or more of the
following printing options:
/print sends the letters to the printer.
/wait causes the processing to wait after each page
for viewing on the display or for single sheet
feeding if the print (/p) is invoked.
/out=filename sends the letters to a disk file. You may send
it to any disk and give the file any name.
The printer options may be combined. For example:
/print /wait prints a letter and then waits for
single sheet feeding.
/print /wait /out c:file would print the letters, wait for
single sheet feeding, and also send a
copy to a disk file on drive c.

2.3.5 Potential Errors
The program has error messaging which should explain most
situations. Common problems are: misspelling the <tagnames>
in the LETTER.FIL, not including the initial command
statement in the SEARCH.FIL, and other minor oversights.
2.3.6 Aborting the Program
If you desire to abort the program at any point in printing
or other procedures, simply hit the standard Ctrl-Break or
Ctrl-C.

2.4 CORRESPONDENCE PROTOCOL
There are no fixed, formal protocols for writing to
governmental representatives. The basic rule is to keep it
short and to your specific point. If you are expressing
your opinion on a current issue, then, generally, you should
confine the letter to one page. Your first statement might
be something like the following:
REGARDING THE U.S. FLAGGING OF OIL TANKERS IN THE PERSIAN
GULF, I BELIEVE THAT THE WAR POWERS ACT SHOULD (NOT) BE
INVOKED.
In many instances, a brief statement such as that may be all
that is warranted. Or, in the subsequent paragraph, you
might elaborate on why you hold your particular opinion.
Also, it is a good idea to ask the representative what his
or her position is on this matter. If you do not receive a
response, then that may tell you something about that
particular representative's responsiveness to one's
constituency; and you may want to write again. If you
receive a response, and the representative's position is
different from yours, that may warrant a rebuttal on your
part. Sometimes it is a good idea to submit Xerox copies of
supporting articles and other information. If you belong to
an association or group which holds the same opinion, it is
worthwhile to mention the name of the group, being that
political representatives tend to respond better to blocks
of votes. If you have contributed money to the
representative's election, then it might be appropriate to
mention that you have taken an active part in the person's
campaign.
In addition to expressing your opinion on current events,
there are many other reasons for corresponding with
representatives: asking for information on specific topics
in which the government is involved; asking for help in
resolving problems with agencies; asking when
representatives will be giving public lectures in your area;
informing them of studies and projects which you and your
associations have done; etc.
24

Generally, you will communicate to your personal
representatives. However, there will be many occasions when
you will want to communicate with other representatives whom
you know are active in an area of interest to you. Specific
instructions on how to find the particular representatives
is given in the section entitled INDEX OF REPRESENTATIVES.
In terms of the salutation to the representative in your
letter, you may use the <Salutation> tagname, which is
complete and which was discussed previously. Or you may
design your own. Some people use in the letter:
Dear <Title> <LastName>:
or
<Title> <LastName>:
However, you should use what is appropriate to you.
On the envelope, some people use:
Honorable <FirstName> <LastName>
or
<Title> <FirstName> <LastName>

2.5 INDEX OF REPRESENTATIVES
Every citizen in the United States has 5 elected
representatives in the Federal Government:
One Representative in the House of Representatives
who comes from your geographical district in which
you live;
Two Senators who represent your state in general;
and
Two Executive Officers, the President and the Vice
President.
Use the following Index to find your representatives and
others to whom you may want to communicate. Your President,
Vice President, and Senators are obvious. However, if you
do not know who is your particular member of the House of
Representatives, call your local library, and they will know
your District number.
To correspond with us, you may make a a SEARCH.FIL, using
the term GOVERN as your IDCode tagname.
