WHERE TO GET PUBLICATIONS FROM THE

EXECUTIVE AND INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

SUMMARY

This is a directory of sources that congressional offices may use to obtain

publications from the Executive Office of the President, the executive departments,

and the independent agencies and commissions of the federal government. Also

included is information on the Superintendent of Documents, the U.S. Government

Printing Office, and the federal government’s printing policies; suggestions on what

to do when a publication is out of print; and information on where copies of

government publications may be obtained on the Internet.

The information for each agency includes address, telephone number, fax

number, and Internet e-mail address and World Wide Web (WWW) site, where

available. Also included are selected notes on special publications, availability of

catalogs, etc., as provided by the agency itself. (The report is produced for the use

of congressional offices only.)

Please Note:

Federal government agencies change their telephone

numbers and exchanges from time to time.

Therefore, some of the telephone numbers in this

report may be incorrect, and users could have

difficulties reaching a particular number. If the

number has been changed, there may be a recording

referring to the new number. If this is not the case,

the caller may have to telephone the appropriate

congressional liaison office, government operator, or

area code plus 555-1212 to obtain the agency’s

correct number.

WHERE TO GET PUBLICATIONS FROM THE

EXECUTIVE AND INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

INTRODUCTION

The Congressional Research Service receives numerous congressional inquiries

asking, "Where is the best place to get copies of government documents?" "Where

do we call to get published material for constituents?" "How can you tell what’s

available for giveaway?" This manual will help answer these kinds of questions.

Government publications needed by congressional offices may be conveniently

divided between those published by Congress itself and those prepared by the

various executive and independent agencies. Many of these publications are now

first available electronically on computer databases and a growing number of

Internet World Wide Web sites for both the Congress and the executive branch

agencies. These sources vary in reliability and ease of use, and often change their

addresses without warning. Internet and computer database information is included

below. Specific World Wide Web sites, where available, are included in the

listings for the specific agencies.

Printed congressional publications are sometimes supplied to the offices

automatically. Numbered congressional reports and documents are usually

available from the House Legislative Resource Center (LRC)/House Document

Room and the Senate Document Room; committee prints and hearings can be

obtained from the issuing committees. These are not generally available from

the Congressional Research Service, except on a loan basis. Both the

LRC/House Library (ext. 5-0462) and Senate Library (ext. 4-7106) or the Law

Library of the Library of Congress (ext. 7-2700 or 7-5080) will also supply copies

of hearings and committee prints to Members on loan.

The publications from the executive and independent agencies are more

difficult to obtain because of the multiplicity of sources involved. It is with these

that this manual is concerned. The most appropriate places to call are listed below

and we recommend pursuing them in the following sequence:

THE EXECUTIVE OR INDEPENDENT AGENCY WHICH ISSUED THE

PUBLICATION

A few agencies in the federal government conduct general publication

programs, preparing and distributing pamphlets to the public. These agencies

CRS-2

receive appropriations for this purpose, and the resulting publications are stocked

and distributed by the information offices within the agencies themselves.

Many of the agencies, however, do not distribute their own publications, but

prepare them with the expectation that they will be placed on sale and distributed

by the Superintendent of Documents. These agencies do not receive appropriations

to stock their publications in any quantity and, as a rule, must refer public requests

for them to the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO). These agencies retain a

limited number of their publications for official use within the agency, and it is

their usual practice to share this supply with Members of Congress. This source

is addressed in the directory that follows.

In this publication, we have compiled information from over a hundred of the

larger executive branch bureaus and departments, as well as the independent

agencies. In each case, the agency was asked to furnish us with the address,

telephone number, fax number, and Internet e-mail and World Wide Web

addresses, if available, of the proper unit from which to request publications.

Information on publications of particular interest to Members of Congress is

sometimes included in the notes.

Without exception, every agency indicated its willingness to serve

congressional offices to the limit of its ability. In every case, we were assured that

any publications they had available could be sent to a Member for personal use,

and the majority of the offices indicated their desire to assist the Member with

constituent requests. Limitations based on security classifications, scarcity, or

unusual expense are occasionally encountered.

All of the agencies are limited in the number of publications they can

distribute by Paragraph 39 of the February 1990 Government Printing and Binding

Regulations published by the Joint Committee on Printing:

Departments shall not make free distribution of any publication

to any private individual or private organization in quantities

exceeding 50 copies without prior approval of the Joint

Committee on Printing. This quantity limitation shall not apply

when the production cost of the publications to be distributed

is less than $100.

In the ensuing pages, the organizations are listed alphabetically within the

following major categories:

Executive Office of the President

Executive departments

Independent agencies and commissions

CRS-3

The table of contents lists the agencies as they appear within this categorical

structure. The index lists all agencies in a single alphabet, using variant names and

key words where useful.

CRS-4

THE SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS, U.S. GOVERNMENT

PRINTING OFFICE

The Superintendent of Documents maintains a constantly changing stock of

approximately 21,000 different titles, which are distributed for sale to the general

public. Rather than attempting constant revision of a single catalog of these titles,

the Superintendent prepares a variety of lists which identify government

publications currently in print by subject. These printed Subject Bibliographies are

frequently revised and are available for free distribution to a Member’s office on

request, by telephone (202) 512-1808 or by writing to the Superintendent of

Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Document Sales Service,

Washington, DC 20401. (Note: Members may also wish to refer their constituents

to one of the 24 GPO bookstores located in major cities in the United States. A

list of these with addresses may be found in the United States Government

Manual.) Offices that are unable to secure titles requested by a constituent may

wish to send instead the appropriate Subject Bibliography. This will either identify

the title required or list similar material which the constituent can secure by

sending the order blank included in the Subject Bibliography and a remittance

directly to the Superintendent of Documents.

If an office has been unable to secure a publication it needs from the issuing

agency and wishes to purchase it, a copy can be bought from the Superintendent

of Documents in the same manner as the general public. In some cases, a book

exchange arrangement carried on by the Documents Control Branch of the

Superintendent of Documents may be helpful. Under this agreement it is

sometimes possible for a Member to exchange publications he has received by

allotment for other publications of equal value which may be needed. An office

wishing further details on this program should call the Government Printing Office

(202) 512-1808.

The Government Printing Office also provides access on the Internet to a wide

variety of government publications, from both the legislative and executive

branches of government, at its World Wide Web site (http://www.access.gpo.gov).

WHAT TO DO WHEN A PUBLICATION IS OUT OF PRINT AND

UNAVAILABLE

Occasionally a needed publication is no longer available at either the executive

or independent agency or the Government Printing Office. A few suggestions for

such cases:

If the title is required for office use by the Member or his/her staff, it can

be borrowed from the Library of Congress, if it is available, for a limited period

of time. A staff member with loan privileges may request the publication by

telephoning ext. 7-5445.

CRS-5

If the publication is needed for a constituent, he or she can be referred

to the nearest U.S. Government depository library. This will be one of more than

1,300 libraries throughout the country in which certain government publications are

preserved and made available for public use. A listing of these depository libraries

appears in Federal Depository Libraries Directory (1996) and may be obtained by

calling Library Programs Services (GPO) at (202) 512-1119. While many such

libraries will have copies of the Congressional Record and the serial documents of

the Congress, there will be occasions when the title requested is not a depository

item. To determine whether a needed publication is likely to be available, the

office may wish to call (202) 512-1119 and ask about its depository status. In

addition, Members of Congress can obtain information concerning the designation

of libraries as federal depositories by calling (202) 512-1119. Designation

Handbook for Federal Depository Libraries is available upon request.

If the requesting constituent appears to be a scholar engaged in serious

research, the office may wish to recommend pursuing the publication through an

interlibrary loan. To secure such service the constituent should ask a local librarian

to borrow the publication either from the nearest depository library (if there is none

available in the community), from the state library, or through the extension service

of the state college or university. If the title is of such a specialized nature that it

cannot be secured from one of these, the local librarian can request "location

information" from the nearest regional union catalog center. This will identify the

most convenient copy to borrow.

THE INTERNET AS A SOURCE FOR EXECUTIVE OR INDEPENDENT

AGENCY PUBLICATIONS

The publications of executive branch departments and other government

agencies are becoming increasingly available on the Internet as these agencies have

created their own home pages on the World Wide Web (WWW). Because these

sources are multiplying rapidly as more and more government agencies "come

online," this report reflects what is available on the Internet at the time of this

writing.

The Internet is a "global network" used for research collaboration, remote

database access, and resource sharing. Many government agencies now make the

full text of their documents available on the Internet before the printed text is

obtainable from the agency or through GPO. Selected Internet addresses, provided

by the agencies or obtained from other sources, are included in the listings for the

specific agencies.

Sources for Internet Links to Executive and Independent Agencies

The following World Wide Web sites provide additional access to a large

number of federal government Internet home pages. These are excellent sources

CRS-6

for the most current listing of WWW sites, including any Internet WWW home

pages added since the publication of this report.

CRS-7

Federal Web Locator

http://www.law.vill.edu/Fed-Agency

As stated on its home page, "the Federal Web Locator is a service

provided by the Villanova Center for Information Law and Policy and is

intended to be the one stop shopping point for federal government information

on the World Wide Web." This service provides a large number of links to

various federal government home pages.

Library of Congress

http://lcweb.loc.gov/global/executive/fed.html

"Official Federal Government Web Sites" is the title of a "Resource

Internet Page" on the Library of Congress Home Page; it provides numerous

links to executive branch and independent agency World Wide Web sites, with

direct access to many of the subsidiary agency publications.

White House

http://www.whitehouse.gov/WH/html/handbook.html

The White House Home Page contains an "Interactive Citizens’

Handbook," which provides links to many federal government Web sites.

Computer Access and Support

Computer terminals which provide immediate access to the Internet are

available for staff use in the CRS reference centers in the Rayburn and the Russell

Office Buildings. The La Follette Congressional Reading Room in the Madison

Building also has computers for use by congressional staff.

Both the House and Senate provide computer support to congressional offices.

For Members, committees, and staff of the House, House Information Resources

(HIR) provides a comprehensive group of information and research sources

especially designed for Members, committees, and staff.

For Senators, committees, and staff, the Senate Computer Center provides a

comprehensive group of information and research sources. Training classes and a

user assistance hotline for Senate staff are available.
