INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE TASK FORCE ANNOUNCES
COMPUTER BULLETIN BOARD
Larry Irving, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and
Information announced today the Information Infrastructure Task Force
(IITF) Secretariat has begun operating a computer bulletin board
system to provide public access to IITF and other National
Information Infrastructure (NII) related documents, including IITF
schedules, committee reports and minutes of meetings.
"Our goal is to make government information available and easily
accessible to the public," stated Larry Irving. "As we move towards
our goal of rapidly expanding our national information
infrastructure, we want to ensure that the public is kept aware of
our activities."
The Information Infrastructure Task Force (IITF) Bulletin Board may
be reached through Internet or by calling 202/501-1920 using a
personal computer and a telephone modem. The bulletin board is
available to the public 24 hours each day, seven days a week.
