The White House unveiled its very own WWW site on October 
20.  The tours of the White House and Old Executive Office 
Building, Al Gore's collection of political cartoons, and the 
recorded comments of Bill Clinton, Gore, and Socks are quite 
enjoyable for those using WWW clients that support graphics 
and sound.  Comments can be submitted using WWW clients 
that support forms.
