Government

For government information, the Library of Congress is your gateway to all government documents and information on the Internet (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches). For example, you can check information in the Library of Congress catalog, bills before Congress, government agencies, and your Congressional representatives' most recent speeches. Go straight to the White House page, to Thomas for the full text of any bill introduced in Congress since 1992, and to Fedworld for a comprehensive guide to government data bases. You may want to try StateSearch for information on U.S. state governments. We also suggest checking out Nonprofit Gateway , a network link to over 300,000 government web pages of all federal government branches, agencies, departments, and services.
