Hurricane Katrina Congressional Updates

The beSpacific blog (9/7/2005) brings our attention
to a new website launched by the Congressional Information
Services company Gallerywatch.com, called USCongress.com.

"The site, whose content and sources will expand in upcoming
weeks and months, is already a significant resource for
government documents on a wide range of issues associated
with Katrina, both before the disaster and its aftermath.

The site is focused on providing up-to-date access to essential
government documents, including otherwise hard to locate
CRS reports, federal agency and state press releases, the text
of legislation introduced in response to the disaster, letters to
the President from Senate and House leaders, as well as
commentary from Congress Daily, the Energy Daily, and
transcripts supplied by the Federal News Service.

All of this information is available free."
