From Communications Daily, 1/19/93...

    The Clinton Administration will become the first presidency
    to have an official responsible for making official
    Presidential documents widely available using electronic
    distribution.  Jonathan Gill has been named Director of
    Electronic Publishing and Public Access E-Mail.  During the
    campaign, an E-mail system he created answered some 5,000
    queries, most being sent out automatically.  He will work
    with Jeff Eller, the new deputy assistant to the President
    and director of Media Affairs.  Eller is said to have moved
    computer communications into the mainstream of political
    campaigning.  Eller made Clinton's position papers available
    via such electronic venues as CompuServe, GEnie and Internet.
    Clinton's communications team is said to favor direct
    communication with the public via electronic media.  Eller
    hopes to make the White House a model for other federal
    agencies in this regard.
