I received 10 DVDs from the General Accountability Office in response to a FOIA request. While that is nice, I still think they gave away the farm to the tune of several million dollars when they gave Thomson West their federal legislative histories for nothing. So, we've followed up with an unsolicited joint venture proposal in which GAO sends us the docs when Thomson is done with them. We explained in our GAO proposal that the U.S. public would happily take the hand-me-downs after the foreign multinationals are done with these documents paid for by our tax dollars. I'm not getting my hopes up too high though. More information and a paper trail here: http://public.resource.org/gao.gov/ Best regards, Carl ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
