Date: Mon, 8 Jun 1992 10:45:20 CDT Reply-To: Public-Access Computer Systems Forum <PACS-L%UHUPVM1.BITNET@RICEVM1.RICE.EDU> From: James P Love <LOVE%PUCC.BITNET@RICEVM1.RICE.EDU> To: Multiple recipients of list PACS-L <PACS-L%UHUPVM1.BITNET@RICEVM1.RICE.EDU> ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- - Gore, Ford, Sarbanes and Simons introduce Senate verions of GPO WINDO. - Name of bill is changed to GPO Gateway to Government - Fiscal note is $3 million in fy 93, $10 million in fy 94. On June 4, 1992 Senators Gore, Ford, Sarbanes and Simons introduced S. 2813, the GPO Gateway to Government. The text of the bill was printed on page S. 7599 of the Congressional Record. The bill, which I haven't seen yet, is reportedly very similiar to Rose's hr 2772. All four cosponors are democrats. It was a pleasant surprise that Senator Ford, who chairs the Senate Rules Committee (where the bill is referred) was among the sponors. Unfortunately, Senator Stevens (R-AK) was not among the originial cosponors. As readers of this list may know, the GPO WINDO (HR 2772) and the GPO Gateway to Government (S 2813) would provide one-stop- shopping online access to federal government databases and and information systems. The service would be free to 1,400 federal depository libraries and available for subscriptions in homes and offices, priced at the incremental cost of disseminating the information. The service would be available through the internet and over ordinary telephone lines using a modem.
