SPOTTED IN A NY TIMES EDITORIAL RE ACCESS TO GOVT INFO
        A popular Government without popular information, or
        the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a
        farce or tragedy, or perhaps both.
                                -- James Madison


COMPUTERIZED POLITICAL DISCLOSURES: POSSIBLE ERRATA TO ITEM IN GOVACCESS#1
  I noticed that my internal file-copy of GovAccess#1 had a garbaged title 
for my proposal for computerizing campaign-finance disclosures, etc. (never 
trust a machine -- nor its operator :-).  It should have stated:
  I have finally found time to upload my Jan. 1st 28-page [printed] 
implementation proposal that has been circulating in California state and 
local political circles since ~Jan. 4th:
     "Computerizing Political Disclosures:
     Doing It with Minimal Cost and Maximum Utility."
[GovAccess#1 told how to obtain a copy online or by snailmail.]


ADMINISTRATION PLANS FOR OUR COMMUNICATIONS [from another distrib list]
From:     Debbie Rudolph
Date:     January 27, 1994
  The Administration has released its "White Paper on
Communications Act Reforms."  Copy is available from the NTIA
Bulletin Board "nii@ntia.doc.gov".  Instead of introducing a
separate bill, the House bills HR 3636 and HR 3626 will be the
vehicles for passage.  The subcommittee mark-up is scheduled for
late February and full committee mark-up in March.

Date: Fri, 28 Jan 1994 09:21:51 -0600
From: Susan Hadden <shadden@emx.cc.utexas.edu>
To: Multiple recipients of list <telecomreg@relay.adp.wisc.edu>
Subject: Making Government Work

The Office of Technology Assessment report "Making Government Work:
Electronic Delivery of Federal Services" is available on-line.  It covers
several potential areas of electronic service delivery, including health
and environment, as well as chapters identifying problems and benefits of
the federal government using electronic service delivery. 

[I presume these are ftp sites; i have not yet tried them/jsm]

At present, the report can be downloaded:

NTIS FedWorld bulletin board fedworld.gov (ip 192.239.92.201); 

Americans Communicating Electronically ota@ace.esusda.gov; 

OTA otabbs.ota.gov (ip 152.63.20.13);

America On-Line, Big Sky Telegraph, and I think CapAccess and National
Public Telecomputing Network and perhaps Center for Civic Networking. 
Also, comments on the report and requests for free copies of the hardcopy
summary report can be e-mailed

fwood@ota.gov or the 
OTA groupmail elecdelivery@ota.gov.  

If you know of other computer networks and electronic bulletin boards that
may be interested, please contact fwood or contact them directly.
