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:
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**):
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:
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
