Dear Friend:

     Thank you for writing to Vice President Gore via electronic 
mail.  Since coming on-line, vice.president@whitehouse.gov has 
received thousands of messages from people all over the world.

     Although the volume of mail prevents the Vice President from 
personally reviewing each message, be assured that your concerns, 
ideas, and suggestions have been read carefully, and a detailed 
report of the mail is provided to the Vice President on a regular 
basis.  Your message will be brought to his attention as part of 
that report.  We currently are working toward a system that will 
allow us to respond more specifically to your messages.

     In order to do so, your help will be needed to ensure that 
we can read and record your message clearly.  Please try to write 
short and concise messages, address only one issue per message, 
and send only one copy of your message.  You will receive one 
automated response per day.

     On October 20, 1994, President Clinton and Vice President 
Gore acted to improve the accessibility of government information 
by opening a service called "Welcome to the White House: An 
Interactive Citizens' Handbook" on the Internet.  This new World 
Wide Web service provides a single point of access to all 
electronic government information on the Internet.  By using a 
free Web-browsing software program such as Mosaic or Cello, the 
user can access a multimedia interface to information from the 
White House and the Executive Branch of government, including 
White House documents, a virtual tour of the White House, and 
detailed information about Cabinet-level and independent 
agencies.  This interface includes photographs, audio, and 
"hotlinks" to other government Web sites and services.  You 
should check with your service provider for instructions on how 
to browse the Web.  "Welcome to the White House" can be accessed 
at:

     	       http://www.whitehouse.gov

     Though the new Web server provides access to White House 
documents and publications, we will continue to provide these by 
e-mail.  To receive instructions, please send a message to the 
following address (**do not "reply" to the memo you are now 
reading**):

     	       publications@whitehouse.gov

     In the body of your message, type "Send Info" (without 
quotes); no other text should be included, specifically message 
headers or signature lines (.sig files).  The instructions will 
be sent to you automatically.

     Also, we now have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) 
document that, among other things, lists certain other sources of 
government information.  (The FAQ file is approximately 35K in 
size; you should check with your service provider to ensure that 
you can receive files of this size.)  This FAQ address is an 
autoresponder only; any comment sent to this address will not be 
acknowledged.  In order to obtain this, you should send an e-mail 
message to:

     	       faq@whitehouse.gov

     All of us at the White House are excited about the progress 
that has been made with this historic project, and we look 
forward to future developments.  Your continued interest and 
participation are very important to us.

     	       	    	      Sincerely,

     	       	    	      Bill Mason
     	       	    	      Director of Correspondence 
     	       	    	      	   for the Vice President

[You will only receive one automated response per day]
