They are making some reports available in electronic format. Also, I have acquired lists of reports they publish in non-electronic form. All GAO reports are free, and I am not trying to sell anything, either. I consider those who sell gov't information to uninformed citizens to be selling water by the river to the blind. To get info about GAO reports, send mail to: publish@ganymede.apple.com and say "help" in the body of the message. If you want a index of available files, say "send /publish/Index" in the body of the message. Say "end" on a seperate line if you have an expressive signature on your mail. To have a report mailed to you (for free!), call the automated order response line of the GAO from a touch-tone phone. To quote from their DayBook release: To obtain copies of GAO reports or testimony, the press only may call (202) 275-2812. Others should call GAO's Document Distribution Center at (301) 512-6000. To receive facsimile copies of the daily listings of GAO documents released during the last 30 days, call (301) 258-4097. A recorded menu will provide information on how to obtain these listings using a touchtone telephone. Please note that because Congressional recipients of GAO reports occasionally release reports without providing prior notice to the GAO, the above listing may not be comprehensive. Also, from their Document Distribution Center recording: They have a fax machine at 310-258-4066 to receive requests for documents. They ask that you include the number(s) of the report(s) you are requesting, the title(s), the address you want the report or reports sent to, your organization name, and a voice number that you can be reached at. (call the Document Distribution Center to confirm this info.) thanx for your time - ray@ganymede.apple.com i am planning on adding query capabilities to this system and a few other bells and whistles. if anyone has suggestions, please dont hesitate to mail me. thanx. ============================================================================= List of all reports publisahed for month: /publish/gao/DaySheet.List.9301 /publish/gao/DaySheet.List.9302 /publish/gao/DaySheet.List.9303 /publish/gao/DaySheet.List.9304 /publish/gao/DaySheet.List.9305 /publish/gao/DaySheet.List.9306 /publish/gao/DaySheet.List.9307 List of all reports with abstracts! /publish/gao/DaySheet.Abstracts.9211 /publish/gao/DaySheet.Abstracts.9301 /publish/gao/DaySheet.Abstracts.9302 /publish/gao/DaySheet.Abstracts.9303 /publish/gao/DaySheet.Abstracts.9304 Some misc reports released by GAO quite a long time ago. /publish/gao/GAO.HRD.90.138.Drug_Exposed.Infants /publish/gao/GAO.HRD.90.83.Home.Visiting.and.Intervention /publish/gao/GAO.HRD.90.88.Training.Strategies /publish/gao/GAO.IMTEC.90.23.Technology.Challenge /publish/gao/GAO.IMTEC.90.48.Computer.Security /publish/gao/GAO.IMTEC.90.61.Strategic.Def.System /publish/gao/GAO.IMTEC.90.9FS.HDTV /publish/gao/GAO.IMTEC.91.58.High.Perf.Computing /publish/gao/GAO.IMTEC.91.69.High.Perf.Computing /publish/gao/GAO.IMTEC.92.5.Computer.Security /publish/gao/GAO.IMTEC.93.16.Software.Reuse /publish/gao/GAO.Other.Reports.Available.Abstracts The Transition series done for Jan 1993. /publish/gao/Transition.Series.00.Abstracts /publish/gao/Transition.Series.01.Budget.Issues /publish/gao/Transition.Series.02.Investment /publish/gao/Transition.Series.03.Govt.Mgmnt /publish/gao/Transition.Series.04.Financial.Mgmnt /publish/gao/Transition.Series.05.Info.Mgmnt /publish/gao/Transition.Series.06.Program.Evaluation /publish/gao/Transition.Series.07.Public.Service /publish/gao/Transition.Series.08.Health.Care /publish/gao/Transition.Series.09.Natl.Security /publish/gao/Transition.Series.10.Fin.Svcs.Industry /publish/gao/Transition.Series.11.Intl.Trade /publish/gao/Transition.Series.12.Commerce /publish/gao/Transition.Series.13.Energy /publish/gao/Transition.Series.14.Transportation /publish/gao/Transition.Series.15.Food.Agriculture /publish/gao/Transition.Series.19.Labor /publish/gao/Transition.Series.16.Envir.Protection /publish/gao/Transition.Series.17.Natl.Resrce.Mgmnt /publish/gao/Transition.Series.18.Education /publish/gao/Transition.Series.20.HHS.Issues /publish/gao/Transition.Series.21.Veterans.Affairs /publish/gao/Transition.Series.22.Housing /publish/gao/Transition.Series.23.Justice /publish/gao/Transition.Series.24.IRS.Issues /publish/gao/Transition.Series.25.Foreign.Assistance /publish/gao/Transition.Series.26.Foreign.Affairs /publish/gao/Transition.Series.27.NASA /publish/gao/Transition.Series.28.GSA.Issues Also done for Jan 1993. /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.00.Abstracts /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.01.FHA.Farm.Loan.Prgms /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.02.GSL /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.03.Bank.Insurance.Fund /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.04.RTC /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.05.Pension.Benefit.Guranty.Corp /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.06.Medicare.Claims /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.07.Defense.Weapons.Sys.Acquis /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.08.Defense.Contract.Pricing /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.09.DOE.Contract.Mgmnt /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.10.Superfund /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.11.NASA.Contract.Mgmnt /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.12.Defense.Inventory.Mgmnt /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.13.IRS.Receivables /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.14.Managing.Customs.Service /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.15.Overseas.Real.Property.Mgmnt /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.16.FTA.Grant.Mgmnt /publish/gao/High.Risk.Series.17.Asset.Forfeiture.Prgms Pamphlets on Asset Forfeiture for police, a how-to-guide for subverting the Fourth amendment. /publish/bja/Asset.Forfeiture.01.Civil.Forfeiture /publish/bja/Asset.Forfeiture.02.Public.Records /publish/bja/Asset.Forfeiture.03.Mangmnt.of.Seized.Assets /publish/bja/Asset.Forfeiture.04.Financial.Search.Warrants /publish/bja/Asset.Forfeiture.05.Plea.Bargaining.and.Polygraphs
