          ------------------------------
          
The Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration, has created a new publication to be called the Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents. The Daily Compilation will appear on the Government Printing Office's new Federal Digital System (FDsys) web site January 20, 2009, to coincide with the incoming President's term of office.

The online Daily Compilation will replace the printed Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents. Like its predecessor, the Daily Compilation will contain statements, messages, and other Presidential materials released by the White House. As an FDsys web publication, the Daily Compilation will reach a much broader audience and will be updated frequently, as information is released by the White House press office. The Daily Compilation web site will integrate with historical Weekly Compilation files to provide continuity and permanent public access.  The new Daily Compilation web site will be available via:www.presidentialdocuments.gov.

There will be no restriction on republication of material appearing in the Daily Compilation.P/
