Your Guide to the U.S. Government
The Internet and information technology have changed the ways of distributing
government information. Here are a number of useful ways
of finding what you want.
Have a question about Federal agencies, programs, benefits, or services?
You
can search the web at
FirstGov.gov, the comprehensive web information portal for the United
States
Government. FirstGov.gov should be your first stop to find any government
information on the Internet, with topics ranging from business and economy
to
money and benefits to science and technology - and everything in between!
You can call the National Contact
Center toll free at 1 (800)
FED-INFO (that's
1-800-333-4636). They also have recordings of frequently requested
information available around the clock. They can answer your question or
get you someone who can.
Or you can e-mail
your questions or comments via a handy webform on the FirstGov.gov
website.
The
Government
Information Locator Service, GILS is a database under
development that contains records of all public government information, not
just what is available on the Internet.
You can learn more about
the
United States of America and our government from the United States
Information Service.
