Message-ID: Newsgroups: bit.listserv.pacs-l Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1993 10:26:53 CDT From: Public-Access Computer Systems Forum Subject: Internet Federal Register Update, Pt.1/2 From: Rob Raisch Subject: Internet Federal Register Update, Pt. 1/2 The recent signing of the GPO Access Bill ("Government Printing Office Electronic Information Access Enhancement Act of 1993"), Pub. L. No. 103-40, 107 State. 112 (1993) [codified at 44 U.S.C. 4101-4104 (1993)] by President Clinton may help to boost the Internet as the delivery system of choice for GPO data. The GPO Access Bill mandates that the GPO provide federal data to the public in electronic form. Based on our brief history of serving the daily Federal Register on the Internet we are convinced that the Internet fits the requirements of the Access bill today. To support this claim we have compiled some usage statistics for the Internet Federal Register. Please note that the Internet Federal Register service has not been advertised or promoted in any significant way and the usage level, in our opinion, is indicative of the value of the information and the power of the Internet. Counterpoint has been serving the daily Federal Register on the Internet for about five months. The Register is available via telnet, Gopher, WAIS and NNTP. Access to the Gopher server is free of charge with limitations on the amount of information you can retrieve. Using any Gopher client program, connect to 'gopher.netsys.com' on port 2001.
