A Summary of Proceedings of a Federal Library and Information Center Committee (FLICC) Annual Forum on Federal Information Policies (4th, Washington, DC, February 25, 1987). Price, Douglas Access to Information Communications Depository Libraries Federal Government Government Publications Information Services Journalism National Security Scientific and Technical Information User Needs (Information) This pamphlet summarizes the fourth annual Forum on Federal Information Policies, which was designed to give those in the academic, public, and private sectors an opportunity to articulate concerns regarding a trend in government information policy towards cutting back on the availability of federal data and publications and limiting such information to formats that are difficult to use. Following introductions by James P. Riley and William J. Welsh, Senator Albert Gore, Jr., presented the keynote address. The first panel session, Information Policies and Public Needs, with Joseph H. Howard presiding, included discussions of Government Printing Office (GPO) issues (Donald E. Fossedal); information policy questions (Donna Demac); depository library concerns (Glyn T. Evans); and a journalist's view (Lee Edwards). Topics presented at the second panel session, Information Policies and National Interests, with Jane Bortnick presiding, included security policies (John C. Wobensmith); communications issues (Elizabeth L. Young), impacts on the science community (J. Thomas Ratchford), and a secondary publisher's view (Herbert B. Landau). Highlights of each of these papers are included in the narrative. (KM)
