Federal Budget via download, telnet, gopher Introduction ------------ The Beltway FAQ lists information on how to reach out and touch, by various means, your Federal representatives -- the President, the Vice President, the Congress, and the Cabinet -- as well as selected Federal agencies. It is intended for the politically active, and for those who wish to obtain information on budgetary and legislative matters from and about the Federal government. This FAQ is a compendium of postings from various sources both printed and electronic; source credits are listed at the end. It does not tell you how to electronically access _every_ Federal library, database, or BBS, but the source list, and a listing of some useful FAQs at the end of this tome, will point you in the right direction. Additions, corrections, and contributions will be warmly welcomed by the author. Please send to Paul Havemann (paul@hsh.com). =-=-=-= 1. 1. The White House by Mail, Phone and Fax (source: EFF) President Bill Clinton 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 (202) 456-1414 Switchboard (202) 456-1111 Comment line (202) 456-2883 FAX 1 (202) 456-2461 FAX 2 First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 (202) 456-6266 Vice President Albert Gore Old Executive Office Building Washington, DC 20500 (202) 456-2326 In addition, CompuServe users can send a "CongressGram" to the President and/or VP via CompuServe MAIL. This service prints, addresses, and mails your letter for $1 (in addition to online charges). =-=-=-= 1. 2. The White House by Email (The Official WH Email FAQ) During Campaign '92, the Clinton Campaign made widespread use of electronic media. A staffer named Jock Gill offered the use of his CompuServe account to encourage the public to send comments to the campaign. The account racked up hundreds of messages per day, often resulting in bounced messages. The campaign organizations of the various presidential candidates used Internet accounts to disseminate news releases to certain Usenet news groups -- a practice the Clinton Administration continues to this day.

The White House is pleased to announce the establishment of an Internet address for retrieving White House publications. We have set up an Almanac server to process requests by email. To receive instructions on using this server, send a message to: Publications@WhiteHouse.GOV In the body of the message, type: send info Various additional sites are archiving the press releases as distributed. What follows is an incomplete list of some of the sites containing the documents that have been released to date. This FAQ will be updated to reflect new sites as they become known. SITE DIRECTORY 1. SUNSITE.UNC.EDU pub/academic/political-science/whitehouse-papers 2. FTP.CCO.CALTECH.EDU /PUB/BJMCCALL 3. FTP MARISTB.MARIST.EDU 4. CPSR.ORG /CPSR/CLINTON 5. FedWorld Online System 703-321-8020 8-N-1 or: Telnet fedworld.doc.gov 6. GOPHER.TAMU.EDU 11/.dir/president.dir Notes: The following are notes on how to log in and get information from the above sites. 1. Office for Information Technology at the University of North Carolina maintains the full collection of White House electronic releases available for search with WAIS and also accessible via Gopher and FTP. 1.a WAIS (:source :version 3 :database-name "/home3/wais/White-House-Papers" :ip- address "152.2.22.81" :ip-name "sunsite.unc.edu" :tcp-port 210 :cost 0.00 :cost-unit :free :maintainer "pjones@sunsite.unc.edu" :description "Server created with WAIS release 8 b5 on Feb 27 15:16:16 1993 by pjones@sunsite.unc.edu These are the White House Press Briefings and other postings dealing with William Jefferson Clinton and Albert Gore as well as members of the President's Cabinet and the first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, Chelsea, Socks and others in Washington DC. Dee Dee Meyers and George Stephanopoulos. Other good words: United States of America, Bill Al Tipper Democrats USA US These files are also available via anonymous ftp from sunsite.unc.edu The files of type filename used in the index were: /home3/ftp/pub/academic/political-science/whitehouse- papers/1993 ") Folks without WAIS clients or gophers that act as WAIS clients may telnet to sunsite.unc.edu and login as swais to access this information via WAIS. 1.b GOPHER is a distributed menu system for information access on the Internet developed at the University of Minnesota. gophers are client-server implementations and various gopher clients are available for nearly any computing platform. You may now use gopher clients to access the White House Papers and other political information on SunSITE.unc.edu's new gopher server. You may also add links from your local gopher server to SunSITE for access to the White House Papers. For gopher server keepers and adventurous clients to access SunSITE you need only know that we use the standard gopher port 70 and that our internet address is SunSITE.unc.edu (152.2.22.81). Point there and you'll see the references to the Politics areas. For folks without gopher clients can telnet to sunsite.unc.edu to try out gopher access. You need to have access to internet telnet and: telnet sunsite.unc.edu login: gopher The rest is very straight forward. Browsing options end with a directory mark (/), searching options end with an question mark (?). There's plenty of on-line help available. 2. No special instructions. 3. The CLINTON@MARIST log files which contain all the official administration releases distributed through the MIT servers are available via anonymous FTP. These logs contain in addition to the official releases, the posts that comprise the ongoing discussion conducted by the list subscribers. To obtain the logs: FTP MARISTB.MARIST.EDU - the logs are in the CLINTON directory and are named CLINTON LOG9208 thru CLINTON LOGyymm where yymm stands for the current year and month. Problems should be directed to my attention: URLS@MARISTC.BITNET or URLS@VM.MARIST.EDU. Posted by Lee Sakkas - owner, CLINTON@MARIST 4. Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility is providing all Clinton documents on technology and privacy at the CPSR Internet Library, available via FTP/WAIS/Gopher at cpsr.org /cpsr/clinton (and in other folders as relevant). For email access, send a message with the word "help" at the 1st line of text to listserv@cpsr.org. 5. The FedWorld Computer System, operated by the National Technical Information Service, archives White House papers in a traditional BBS type file library. Connect to FedWorld by calling (703) 321-8020. No parity, eight data bits and one stop bit (N-8-1). FedWorld accommodates baud speeds of up to 9,600. It is also possible to Telnet to FedWorld at FedWorld.doc.gov. White House papers are located in the W-House library of files. To access this library from the main FedWorld menu, enter <f s w-house>. Files are named with the first four digits being the release month and day (e.g. 0323XXX.txt). Some standard abbreviations after the date include: rem - Remarks by the President pc - Press Conference transcript pr - Press Release AM - AM Press Briefing PM - PM Press Briefing sch - The President's public schedule spch- Text of major speeches. These files are saved in ASCII format. Files can be viewed online by requesting to download a file and then selecting (L)ist as the download protocol. This will display the file a screen at a time. White House papers are kept in the above format for up to two months. Papers more than two months old are compressed using Pkzip into a single file that contains all of the files for that month (e.g. 0193.zip contains all papers released during January 1993). In addition to White Documents, FedWorld also provides a gateway to more than 100 government funded BBSs and computer systems. 6. Texas A&M University GOPHER Server makes available White House press releases and other documents. This archive includes information from 1992 until the present time and is updated as new documents are released. Gopher users can reach the Texas A&M server by choosing it from their local server's list of other gophers, or by pointing their gopher clients to GOPHER.TAMU.EDU. After connecting to the A&M server, take the following path to reach the White House menus: "Browse Information by Subject" --> "Political Science" --> "Information from the White House" Gopher maintainers and other intrepid souls are welcome to point directly to the A&M White House archive. The server is GOPHER.TAMU.EDU and the path is 11/.dir/president.dir. II. HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS BY THE WHITE HOUSE? The White House Communications office is distributing press releases over an experimental system developed during the campaign at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. You can obtain copies of all the press releases from a wide variety of on-line services or discussion groups devoted to either national politics in general or President Clinton in particular. These are listed in sections I and II. Section IIc explains how you can sign up to receive press releases directly from the experimental MIT system by using an automated email server. The present system was not designed to handle high levels of message traffic. A more powerful system will become available in due course, and in the meantime, it would be appreciated if you used this service sparingly. One appropriate current use is secondary redistribution and archiving. If you use it, you will be carried forward when the more powerful system that replaces it. IIa. WIDELY AVAILABLE SOURCES 1. On USENET/NETNEWS, electronic publications are found on a variety of groups: Direct Distribution alt.politics.clinton alt.politics.org.misc alt.politics.reform alt.politics.usa.misc alt.news-media alt.activism talk.politics.misc Indirect Distribution misc.activism.progressive cmu.soc.politics assocs.clinton-gore-92 2. On CompuServe: GO WHITEHOUSE 3. On America Online: keyword WHITEHOUSE or THE WHITEHOUSE or CLINTON 4. On The WELL: type whitehouse 5. On MCI: type VIEW WHITE HOUSE 6.

On CompuServe, see the Democratic Forum: Go Democrats IIb. NOTES ON WIDELY AVAILABLE SOURCES 2. CompuServe's White House Forum (GO WHITEHOUSE) is devoted to discussion of the Clinton administration's policies and activities. The forum's library consists of news releases and twice daily media briefings from the White House Office of Media Affairs. CompuServe members can exchange information and opinions with each other in the 17 sections in the forum's message area. The message board spans a broad range of topics, including international and United Nations activities, defense, health care, the economy and the deficit, housing and urban development, the environment, and education and national service. 3. On America Online, the posts are sent to the White House Forum, located in the News & Finance Department of the service or accessible via keywords: "white house" or "clinton". The White House Forum on America Online contains the press releases from the White House, divided into the categories "Appointments", "Budget", "Congress", "Education", "Economy", "Foreign Policy", "Health Care", "Housing", "Labor", "Law and Order", "Meetings & Speeches", "Proclamations", "Technology", and "Vice President". The area features a message board so you can discuss the releases with other AOL members, a searchable database for easy retrieval of releases that interest you, a Library for longer releases from the White House, and a library that members can upload files of interest for other members. 4. MCI Mail users access daily information on the administration's programs provided by the White House through MCI Mail bulletin boards. The available boards are: WHITE HOUSE ECONOMIC, WHITE HOUSE FOREIGN, WHITE HOUSE SOCIAL, WHITE HOUSE SPEECHES and WHITE HOUSE NEWS. A listing of these boards can also be obtained by simply typing VIEW WHITE HOUSE at the COMMAND prompt. 5. On The Meta Network, material is posted in the White house conference and is accessible via keywords (matching on document titles and subject categories) as well as full text search. Discussions on specific initiatives take place in special interest forums, e.g. health, technology, and reinventing government. 9. GEnie's White House RoundTable has been established to distribute and discuss the official press releases and files relating to the White House and the Clinton Administration. The files library holds all of the press releases on the official mailing list, and the Bulletin Board has Categories set up with topics relating to all aspects of the Administration and Executive Branch of government. Letters to the White House can be entered easily online with a menu option on the WHITEHOUSE page. 10. CompuServe's Democratic Forum (GO DEMOCRATS) is the Democratic Party's online information service covering the activities of the Clinton administration. The sysops of the Democratic Forum work for the Democratic National Committee, and are directly involved in managing the forum and responding to online questions. The Democratic Forum provides access to documents from the White House Office of Media Affairs, with vigorous discussion and debate in the message sections about the impact of the Clinton Administration's policies and proposals. The Democratic Forum also holds a regular weekly online conference with special guests on current topics. IIc. DIRECT EMAIL DISTRIBUTION If you don't have access to the these accounts or if you would prefer to receive the releases via email, then this section details how to sign up for this service. The server is not set up to answer email letters, comments or requests for specific information. To reach this MIT server, send email: To: Clinton-Info@Campaign92.Org Subject: Help The server works by reading the subject line of the incoming message and taking whatever action that line calls for. If you want to sign up to automatically receive press releases, then your subject line would begin with the word RECEIVE. You can then specify what kind of information you are interested in receiving. The categories of information are: ECONOMY Get releases related to the economy such as budget news, technology policy review, etc. FOREIGN Get releases related to foreign policy such as statements on Bosnian airdrop, Haitian refugee status, etc. HEALTH Get releases related to health care policy, without receiving any other social issues. Use this instead of social. SOCIAL Get releases related to social issues like National Service (Student Loan) program, abortion, welfare reform, etc. SPEECHES All speeches made by the President and important speeches made by other Administration officials. NEWS Transcripts of press conferences released by the White House Communications office, as well as the President's remarks in photo ops and other Q&A sessions. ALL All of the above So, if you wanted to sign up to get releases related to the economy your email message would look like this: To: Clinton-Info@Campaign92.Org Subject: RECEIVE ECONOMY When you send a signup message to the clinton-info server, it sends you back a status message letting you know what distribution streams you are signed up for. If you ever want to check on what groups you are signed up for send the following message: To: Clinton-Info@Campaign92.Org Subject: STATUS *****You can stop receiving email releases by sending a REMOVE message to the clinton-info server. The word REMOVE would be followed by whatever distribution stream you wanted to drop. If you wanted to stop receiving message about the ECONOMY then your mail would look like this: To: Clinton-Info@Campaign92.Org Subject: REMOVE ECONOMY You could substitute SOCIAL, FOREIGN, HEALTH, SPEECHES, NEWS or ALL for ECONOMY in the above message and you would be dropped from that distribution list. If you send the subject line REMOVE ALL, then you will be taken off the email distribution system all together and will not receive further releases of any kind. You can also ask for help from the automated server. Send an email query as follows: To: Clinton-Info@Campaign92.Org Subject: HELP The server will respond by sending you a detailed form that will guide you through the process of signing up for the various distribution streams. As you will quickly discover, there is a automatic form processing interface that parallel the quick and easy subject line commands discussed here. More detailed help is available by sending an email query as follows: To: Clinton-Info@Campaign92.Org Subject: Please Help! Finally, if you want to search and retrieve documents, but you do not have access to the retrieval methods discussed in section II, you can do this via email through the MIT server. You can obtain the WAIS query form by sending an email query as follows: To: Clinton-Info@Campaign92.Org Subject: WAIS Once you have identified the documents that you want, be careful not to request them all at once, because you may be sent a message containing all the documents and this message may be too big for some mail delivery systems between the email server and you.

We are pleased to introduce this new form of communication with the White House for the first time in history. As we work to reinvent government and streamline our processes, this electronic mail project will help put us on the leading edge of progress. Please remember, though, this project is still very much under construction. The Office of Correspondence is currently working on defining what this system will do, as well as addressing equipment and staffing needs. When you send a message to the White House you will receive an immediate acknowledgment that your message has been received. This is the only electronic response you will receive at this stage of development; if you include your street address in your message, you may receive a response by U.S. Mail. Please be assured that every electronic mail message received is read and analyzed by staff. Your concerns, your praise, your suggestions, and your ideas are carefully recorded and reported to the President and Vice President weekly. You can send email to the following addresses: Internet Direct: President@WhiteHouse.GOV Vice.President@WhiteHouse.GOV IV. HOW DO I SEND EMAIL TO CONGRESS? The House and the Senate are conducting electronic communications projects. You can access Congressional information via the protocols listed below. For additional information, please contact the offices of your Representative or Senators. Site Protocol Host/connection House Email Congress@hr.House.GOV Gopher Gopher.House.GOV [URL: "Gopher://Gopher.House.GOV/11"] Senate Gopher Gopher.Senate.GOV [URL: "Gopher://Gopher.Senate.GOV/11"] FTP FTP.Senate.GOV Library of Congress Gopher Marvel.LOC.GOV [URL: "Gopher://Marvel.LOC.GOV/11"] FTP seq1.LOC.GOV Telnet LOCIS.LOC.GOV Please note that these are not connected in any way to any White House online projects, so if you have any problems with Congressional systems, you will need to contact their system administrators for assistance. At the House of Representatives, comments, suggestions and reports of problems can be sent by electronic mail to: Comments@HR.House.Gov V. HOW DO I SUBMIT UPDATES FOR THIS FAQ? Please send corrections, deletion and additions to this FAQ to: Publications-Comments@WhiteHouse.GOV =-=-=-= 2. 1. Congress by Mail Congressfolk have their offices in one of several buildings. However, you need not know their address to send them snail mail. Letters to your Representative can be addressed: The Honorable [name] House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515-0001 Similarly, letters to your Senators can simply be addressed: The Honorable [name] United States Senate Washington DC 20510-0001 (Note: the listing in the "Congress by Phone and Fax" section lists each Senator's office building.) Some online services outside of Internet offer various ways to reach out and touch someone. CompuServe users, for example, can send a "CongressGram" to any Congressperson (or the President or VP) via CompuServe MAIL. This service prints, addresses, and mails your letter for $1 (in addition to online charges). CIS has the added advantage of listing the various committees, subcommittees,and sub-subcommittees to which each Congressperson belongs. =-=-=-= 2. 2.

ISIS and LEGIS: Gateway to Congressional Email and more (source: LKK) The Power of Isis by Joe Abernathy (Village Voice, January 12, 1993) Technicians in Washington are turning on the juice to a new suite of communication technologies that could strengthen the ties between the people and their representatives in the incoming Congress. But -- surprise! -- the system, called ISIS (for Integrated Systems and Information Services), has been designed only to extend the power and reach of those in Washington -- even though it could just as easily empower the public. With this in mind, a group of electronic activists are trying to set things straight. "This is out there. You paid for it. Shouldn't you have access?" asks James P. Love, director of Ralph Nader's Taxpayer Assets Project. TAP has been lobbying for greater access to the Congress for some time, in the hope that average citizens could become desktop lobbyists. ISIS, which gets hooked up this month, will allow any lawmaker who requests it to have electronic mail access to the global Internet computer network and all of the so-called X.400 e-mail gateways, which include AT&T Mail, MCI Mail and other business-oriented systems. All told, ISIS will allow Congress to reach out to nearly every significant business leader, researcher, and educator in the free world-tens of millions of people. Yet the plan omits one key detail: Publishing a directory of electronic mail addresses so that you can write to *them*. "A lot of congressmen are not too keen on that," says Love. "Several members have Internet access right now, but it doesn't do much good [for citizens] unless you have their address, and they consider that private." The reason Congress wants to retain that privacy is obvious: legislators already consider themselves besieged by numerous interest groups - the last thing they want is to give the electorate yet another medium for getting in touch with them.. In addtion to ISIS, there's another important congressional on-line technology that is off-limits to the public although developed with public funding. Known as LEGIS, this databank is the command information center for most of the work done in the Congress. It contains the full text and synopses of bills before the House and Senate, information on all foreign treaties, background investigations on pending administration appointees, all new government research papers, a breakdown on how members voted on various topics, and the Congressional record. LEGIS was paid for by the taxpayers, it contains Information that is part of the public record - although the way things stand now, you would have to physically be in Washington to examine most of the material - and TAP things that you ought to be able to tap in. Noting that LEGIS already serves 30,000 people, administrators of the system say there's no reason, technologically or legally, why it couldn't serve the public at the marginal cost of laying down a few telephone lines. "A couple of guys in the House just have to say it's done, and it's done," Love notes. "That information system should be available to every member of the public. It's simple; it's there; it's ready." Like nearly every area of computer technology, on-line access to the government raises new twists on thorny old constitutional issues. Experts contend that such direct access -- along with ideas such as Ross Perot's electronic town hall -- would disproportionately empower a citizen elite that has access to personal computers. So at Love's urging, the Office of Technology Assessment - an investigative arm of Congress -- has begun studying the whole issue of how lawmakers can best embrace electronic democracy. The fear, of course, it that the months and years the OTA spends exploring the minutaiae of the issue could give Congress a further excuse to delay granting the public access to the system. There are a number of things you can do to speed along this process. The first is to contact your local congress member and express a desire for his or her office to use the ISIS system and electronic mail. To request that the public be granted access to the LEGIS system, you should send letters to two gentlemen: The Honorable Charlie Rose, House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Wendell Ford, United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 The same addresses will work, respectively, for your local representative and senator. To phone anyone in the Congress, dial 202-225-3121. [Or 202-224-3121 -- ed] [ Note: the Electronic Frontier Foundation is active in this area.

More on LEGIS (source: ML) The Bill Status Office can tell you within seconds the latest action on any federal legislation. Every bill and resolution for the current session as well as all House and Senate legislation dating back to 1975 are contained in LEGIS, a computerized database. When you call, it is best to give a key word or phrase (i.e., product liability, hazardous waste) which will help the congressional aides search LEGIS. This office can provide such detailed information as: - Have any bills been introduced covering a given topic? - Who is the sponsor of the bill? - How many cosponsors are there? - When was it introduced? - Which committees have the bills been referred to? - Have any hearings been held? - Has there been any floor action? - Has a similar bill been introduced in the other chamber? - Has there been any action on the other side of the Hill? - Have the House and Senate agreed to a compromise bill? - Has the bill been sent to the White House? - Has the President signed or vetoed the bill? - What is the PL (public law) number? Telephone assistance is free, and printouts from LEGIS are available for $.20 per page but must be picked up at the Bill Status Office. However, by making arrangements with your Representative's or Senator's office, you can avoid this nominal charge and also have the printout mailed to your home or office.

Congress by Email The "White House Electronic Publications and Public Access Email" FAQ, above, lists some information under the section "How Do I Send Email to Congress?" The better way is to send an email message asking for the latest information on the Constituent Electronic Mail System: "To obtain a list of the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives who are currently participating in the Constituent EMail Service, send an Internet mail message to congress@hr.house.gov or peruse our gopher service at gopher.house.gov in the House EMail Addresses category." Sending an email message returns a message like this: Date: Mon, 27 Jun 1994 21:33:21 -0500 (EST) From: CONGRESS@HR.HOUSE.GOV Subject: Welcome to the Constituent Electronic Mail System UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONSTITUENT ELECTRONIC MAIL SYSTEM We welcome your inquiry to the House of Representatives Constituent Electronic Mail System. Currently, thirtyfive Members of the U.S. House of Representatives have been assigned public electronic mailboxes that may be accessed by their constituents. 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.

Dick Zimmer 12th Congressional District, New Jersey Rm. 228 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 DZIMMER@HR.HOUSE.GOV 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.
