| contents | Electronic Collection and Dissemination of Information by Federal Agencies. Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives, Ninety-Ninth Congress, First Session (April 29, June 26, October 18, 1985). Federal Programs Government (Administrative Body) Government Publications Government Role Hearings Information Dissemination Information Retrieval Information Science Information Storage Information Systems Public Agencies This document provides a complete record of testimony presented at a series of hearings before the U.S. Congress on the electronic collection and dissemination of information by federal agencies. In looking at the effect of new computer and communications technology on government information activities and practices, the hearings considered such issues as the capabilities and expense of modern computerized information systems, and the consequent reevaluation of the role of government agencies in the dissemination of public information. The first day of hearings concentrated on the EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) system developed at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Testimony on the second day considered the proposal of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to establish an automated tariff filing and information system. To explore potential conflict between the FMC and the private sector, some of the companies offering tariff automation services offered testimony. Other witnesses at the hearing represented three agencies that have developed electronic dissemination systems for press releases and other agency data--the Census Bureau, Food and Drug Administration, and Department of Agriculture. The final day of hearings focused on the National Library of Medicine's Medlars system and on the trademark automation activities of the Patent and Trademark Office. The hearings were held to review those decisions and to compare and contrast alternative approaches. (THC) |
