Re: IEC decimal sign

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
