Government Information on the Internet

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.
	--Samuel Johnson, 1777

This page provides access to World Wide Web government information. These lists are updated frequently, as new information becomes available.

Neat New Stuff

This section provides access to new and/or interesting sites that we particularly enjoy. The choices are completely arbitrary, subject to change without notice. Try it, you might like it!

President's Council on Year 2000 Conversion

This site contains information on the Year 2000 (Y2K) computer problem including the Federal government's efforts to prepare its computer systems, links to information on Y2K compliance for critical sectors of the economy, and other Y2K resources. Happy New Year!

Uncle Sam - Migrating Government Publications

This page offers direct links to printed federal publications that are migrating to the Internet. The value here is threefold: the links are to the documents (not the opening page of the issuing agency), publications can be found directly by Superintendent of Documents classification number, or, more usefully, alphabetically by publication title.

International Y2K Cooperation Center

The IY2KCC was created in February, 1999 under the auspices of the United Nations, with funding from the World Bank. "Our mission is to promote increased strategic cooperation and action among governments, peoples, and the private sector to minimize adverse Y2K effects on the global society and economy." As the world crosses from 1999 to 2000, the IY2KCC will flash color-coded reports on everything from energy and communications to financial and government services and air, land and sea transport. Anyone with access to the Internet will be able to monitor, country-by-country, the status of the technology-challenging date change.
