From: Jim Warren Subject: GOV-ACCESS #9: re polit.disclosures + Clinton/Gore communications plan Jan. 31, 1993 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.
