federal government information. Here are a few references to help you
locate electronic data from specific agencies.
Comprehensive agency lists:
-
- University of Michigan's
Documents Center

international, state, and local documents. The links here are also
organized by subjects.

Congress" containing legislative information on the Internet. Thomas

laws. Dates of coverage vary between files; some go as far back as 1973-
74, the 93th Congress.

information from all three branches of the Federal Government," legislative,
executive, and judicial.
