This message is being posted to a number of Listservs.  Please
forgive any duplication.  This message revises information last
posted on February 23, 1995.

The Center for Electronic Records of the U.S. National Archives
has updated the on-line versions of the Center's "Title
List: A Preliminary and Partial Listing of the Data Files in the
National Archives & Records Administration" (TITLE.LIST.JUN2695).
The Title List now has 15,675, 80 character lines (over 1.2 mb). There
are also new updates for each of the nineteen subfiles of the Title List,
grouped by branch and major department. There are separate files listing
titles from presidential offices, each major executive branch department,
executive branch independent agencies, executive branch committees,
commissions, and boards, the legislative and judicial branches, and other
governments & donated historical materials.

The complete Center for Electronic Records' Title List file and the
nineteen sub-files are available on the National Archives Gopher/WWW
server, CLIO (GOPHER.NARA.GOV or WWW.NARA.GOV - path -
'Information About NARA Holdings'/ 'Information About Records Retained
by Washington DC Area Repositories'/'Electronic Records'/'Title List, A
Preliminary and Partial Listing of Data Files in NARA').  In addition to the
Title List files, other descriptive information about the Center for
Electronic Records resources and services, including descriptions of
specific records and record series, are available on the NARA server.

Since the last update to the Title List, Center staff have
added entries for the following major series recently transferred
to the custody of the National Archives.  These include detailed entries
for the Census of Population and Housing, 1970, GBF/DIME Software,
Special Program Information Tape (SPIT) and the Correction, Update, and
Extension Tape (CUE) files and the Census of Population and Housing,
1980: Summary Tape File 1A files in the Records of the Bureau of the
Census (Record Group 29); the Strategic Air Command Combat Activities
Report, June 1, 1965-August 20, 1973 (SACCOACT) in the Records of
the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff (Record Group 218); and detailed entries
for the National Medical Expenditure Survey, 1987: Public Use Tapes 1-5
in the Records of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research
(Record Group 510).

The Title List also can be accessed by FTPing to FTP.CU.NIH.GOV
(128.231.64.7).  Log on as an anonymous user; press enter (or
enter your user name or 'guest') at password prompt.  The
directory in which this information is stored is NARA_ELECTRONIC

READ.ME file on the FTP site; component record groups for the Title List
'groups' are listed in the TITLE.INTRO file also on the FTP sites.
