Web Links

The Federal Web Locator, maintained by Villanova University
This is the comprehensive listing of on-line resources to the federal government. Its stated intention is "to bring the cyber citizen to the federal government's doorstep." The list is now broken into six categories: the legislative branch, judicial branch, executive branch and Departments (make sure you browse this one), independent agencies, quasi-official agencies, and related sites.

Federal Agency Web Sites, maintained by Louisiana State University
This is comparable (though less comprehensive) to the Villanova site listed above, but maintains the information in one long list, which you might find easier to browse.

Reinventing Government
This is the project associated with Vice President Al Gore, which is working towards "creating a government that works better and costs less." Here you can learn about the project's initiatives, findings, projects, etc.

National Security Archive, affiliated with George Washington University
The National Security Archive is an independent non-governmental research institute and library which collects and publishes declassified documents acquired through the Freedom of Information Act. There is a full range of topics covering American foreign, defense, and security policies. This gives you unique insight into the workings of the defense-related agencies of the federal bureaucracy.

Fedstats
This is an official government site which allows you to browse, search, and access all Federal Agencies which spend significant amounts of money on generating statistical reports - many do, so do not be surprised at the long list. When you pick an agency, it appears in a separate "frame". Below this is a third frame which lists the statistical topics available; when you select one of these, the main frame takes you to the relevant report. It is a convenient way to do research on different agencies in the bureaucracy.
