In the US, there's a program where federal documents are maintained in libraries across the country. Odds are that it's a local university library that is part of the program in anyone's area. And it doesn't have to be a big name university either: I know of some small schools that are part of the program. Try looking in the white pages under "Government". ucbvax!garnet!weemba Matthew P Wiener/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720

There is a requirement by law that federally funded research be available for public inspection unless it's classified (and I'm sure there are other exceptions from the rule). These documents are given to government repositories. Here in rochester, the University of Rochester is a partial repository for such documents. There are also computer databases that contain lists of all these documents. I've used the NTIS (National Technical Information Service) and INSPEC(Not sure what it means, but it's got alot of good stuff) on occasion. Just ask your local colegiate librarian, and they should know what your talking about. At RIT, they'll even run a computer search for you (for five dollars).

We do. :-) California Polytechnic State University is a Federal Document repository. We probably have that document here. If you are able to request an interlibrary loan, that might do it; I'm not sure, though. You may need to go through another college library for that. Good luck. -- James A.
