ROSE PRAISES FEDWORLD, ACE, LC AND GPO ON INFO PROGRAMS: Rep. Charlie Rose, D-NC, last week praised FedWorld, Library of Congress' LOCIS and Marvel information retrieval systems, GPO electronic access program and Americans Communicating Electronically (ACE) as positive federal initiatives in area of information dissemination. The congressman especially went out of his way to single out the National Technical Information Services (NTIS) noting that the agency had "transformed itself into a leader to make government agency information available" to the public. In a speech before the Annual FLICC Forum at the Library of Congress, the Chairman of the House Administration Committee also revealed that this month *****he ordered Internet access for all House members*****, and took steps to make legislative information available over the Internet via a gopher. (Rose said his Internet address is: crose@hr.house.gov) The House gopher (gopher.house.gov) is to serve the needs of the Capital Hill community and as a vehicle for the dissemination of House information to the public.= [The ***** emphasis is mine...

OnlineActivist "In a Time/CNN poll of 1,000 Americans conducted last week by Yankelovich Partners, two-thirds said it was more important to protect the privacy of phone calls than to preserve the ability of police to conduct wiretaps. When informed about the Clipper Chip, 80% said they opposed it." - Philip Elmer-Dewitt, "Who Should Keep the Keys", TIME, Mar. 14 1994
