The Minnesota House of Representatives launched its gopher server in 
December of 1993:  gopher.revisor.leg.state.mn.us  

The server provides:

	- bills that have been introduced in regular session; 
	- long titles of bills introduced in the interim 
	  (non-legislative session periods);
	- house journal;
	- summaries of bills from House Research; 
	- phone books for the House;
	- biographical member information; 
	- New Laws book for 1993 session; 
	- the MN Statutes; 
	- civic oriented Mac programs based on MN statutes 
	  legislative history, county names, and new laws.

The Minnesota Legislature meets in a two year cycle with a long session
in odd number years and a short session in even numbered years.  The
long session normally starts in January and runs through the first
Monday following the third Saturday in May.  The short session this year
starts on 22 February 1994 and runs about 7 or 8 weeks.
