Demonstration of GPO Access (Pub. L. 103-40), the New Online Federal 
Register and Congressional Record

    The Superintendent of Documents will hold three public meetings for 
Government agencies and others interested in a demonstration of the 
Government Printing Office's Access system, provided under the GPO 
Electronic Information Enhancement Act of 1993 (Pub. L. 103-40), the 
GPO Access Act.
    Three meetings will be held on Thursday, September 8, 1994, from 9 
to 10 a.m., 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., in the Carl 
Hayden Room at the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), 732 North 
Capitol St. NW, Washington, DC 20401. (Union Station metro stop on the 
red line).
    Under Public Law 103-40, the Superintendent of Documents 
implemented on June 8, 1994 a system of online access to the 
Congressional Record, the Federal Register, and other appropriate 
information. The purpose of this meeting is to demonstrate the online 
services made available under the initial phase of the implementation 
of the Act and to solicit comments from users interested in the system.
    The initial online services include access to a WAIS Server at GPO 
offering the following data bases: the Federal Register (including the 
Unified Agenda), Volume 59 (1994), the Congressional Record (including 
the History of Bills), Volume 140 (1994), the Congressional Record 
Index, Volumes 138-140 (1992-1994), and Enrolled Bills from the 103d 
Congress (1993-1994). The Federal Register and Congressional Record 
data bases provide ASCII text files, with all graphics included as 
individual files in TIFF format. Both data bases are updated daily. 
Brief ASCII text summaries of each Federal Register entry are also 
available. The Congressional Record Index provides ASCII text files 
with all graphics included as individual files in TIFF format. The 
Enrolled Bills are available as ASCII text files and in the Adobe 
Acrobat PDF file format. Users with Acrobat viewers can display and 
print page facsimiles of enrolled bills.
    Seating is limited to 60 people per session. Individuals interested 
in attending should contact the GPO's Office of Electronic Information 
Dissemination Services by 3 p.m., Tuesday, September 6. The office can 
be reached by telephone on 202-512-1265, by FAX on 202-512-1262, or by
