"CD-ROM Update/Documents Department"


The CD-ROM collection in the Documents Department has been 
updated to include several new compact discs.

National Economic, Social and Environmental Data Bank 
(February 1995)

The U.S. Department of Commerce markets the _National 
Economic, Social and Environmental Data Bank_ CD-ROM as the 
major one-stop shopping disc for federal domestic policy 
issues and information.  NESE provides in-depth coverage of 
economic trends, education, health issues, criminal justice, 
and the environment.  The database includes the text of books, 
magazines, reports, and tables.


Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations, 
Documents and Technical Information (March 1995)

As the title suggests, this database includes regulations, 
documents, and technical information related to OSHA.  The 
CD-ROM contains directives, memos, congressional 
testimonies, fact sheets, speeches, hazard information 
bulletins, and more.


Congressional Districts, 104th Congress

Following the 1990 decennial census, most states redistricted 
for the 103rd Congress based upon the apportionment of seats 
for the U.S. House of Representatives and the new census data.  
Since then, several states have redistricted for the 104th 
Congress.  This CD-ROM contains a comprehensive selection of 
statistics on the 100 percent and sample census of population 
and housing subjects.


Chronic Disease Prevention File (January 1995)

This CD-ROM, developed by groups within the Centers for 
Disease Control, contains the following databases:  Health 
Promotion and Education, AIDS School Health Education, Cancer 
Prevention and Control, Chronic Disease Prevention Directory, 
and State Profiles.


National Health Interview Survey, 1992

As one of the major data collections programs of the National 
Center for Health Statistics, the _National Health Interview 
Survey_ is a principal source of information on the health of 
the resident, civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the 
United States.  The NHIS is a personal-interview household 
survey using a nationwide sample.
