>GETTING INFORMATION TO AND FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
>FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
>Updated March 12, 1993
>
>A. HOW TO SIGN UP FOR ELECTRONIC RELEASES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE:
>
>The White House Communications office is distributing press releases over an
>experimental system developed during the campaign.
>
>You can sign up to receive press releases on this experimental system by using
>the automated computer server. You will be carried forward onto the system
>that replaces it. However, it would be appreciated if you used this
>service sparingly at this time. The present system was not designed to handle
>high levels of message traffic. In due course, a more powerful system will
>be available.
>
>You can also find copies of the press releases in certain on-line bulletin
>board groups devoted to discussions of either national politics in general or
>President Clinton in particular.
>
>1. On USENET/NETNEWS, electronic publications are found on a variety of
> groups:
>
> Direct Distribution
>
> alt.politics.clinton
> alt.politics.org.misc
> alt.politics.reform
> alt.politics.usa.misc
> alt.news-media
> alt.activism
> talk.politics.misc
>
> Indirect Distribution
>
> misc.activism.progressive
> cmu.soc.politics
> assocs.clinton-gore-92
>
>2. On CompuServe: GO WHITEHOUSE
>
>3. On America Online: keyword WHITEHOUSE or THE WHITEHOUSE or CLINTON
>
>4. On The WELL: type whitehouse
>
>5. On MCI: type VIEW WHITE HOUSE
>
>
>If you don't have access to the these accounts or if you would prefer to
>receive the releases via e-mail, then the next section details how to sign up
>for this service. The server is not set up to answer e-mail letters,
>comments or requests for specific information. To reach this server, send
>e-mail:
>!
>
>
> to: Clinton-Info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
> subject: Help
>
>The server works by reading the subject line of the incoming message and
>taking whatever action that line calls for. If you want to sign up to
>automatically receive press releases, then your subject line would begin with
>the word RECEIVE. You can then specify what kind of information you are
>interested in receiving. The categories of information are:
>
>ECONOMIC POLICY
> Get releases related to the economy such as budget
> news, technology policy review, etc.
>
>
>FOREIGN POLICY
> Get releases related to foreign policy such as
> statements on Bosnian airdrop, Haitian refugee status,
> etc.
>
>
>SOCIAL POLICY
> Get releases related to social issues like National
> Service (Student Loan) program, abortion, welfare
> reform, etc.
>
>SPEECHES
> All speeches made by the President and important
> speeches made by other Administration officials.
>
>NEWS
> Transcripts of press conferences released by the White
> House Communications office, as well as the
> President's remarks in photo ops and other Q&A
> sessions.
>
>ALL All of the above
>
>So, if you wanted to sign up to get releases related to the economy your
>e-mail message would look like this:
>
> To: Clinton-Info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
> Subject: RECEIVE ECONOMY
>
>When you send a signup message to the clinton-info server, it sends you back a
>status message letting you know what distribution streams you are signed up
>for. If you ever want to check on what groups you are signed up for send the
>following message:
>
>To: Clinton-Info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>Subject: STATUS
>
>
>
>!
>
>You can stop receiving e-mail releases by sending a REMOVE message to the
>clinton-info server. The word REMOVE would be followed by whatever
>distribution stream you wanted to drop. If you wanted to stop receiving
>message about the ECONOMY then your mail would look like this:
>
>To: Clinton-Info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>Subject: REMOVE ECONOMY
>
>You could substitute SOCIAL, FOREIGN, SPEECHES, NEWS or ALL for ECONOMY in the
>above message and you would be dropped from that distribution list. If you
>send the subject line REMOVE ALL, then you will be taken off the e-mail
>distribution system all together and will not receive further releases of any
>kind.
>
>You can also ask for help from the automated server. Send an e-mail query as
>follows:
>
> To: Clinton-Info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
> Subject: HELP
>
>The server will respond by sending you a detailed form that will guide you
>through the process of signing up for the various distribution streams.
>
>B. ARE THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS RELEASES BEING ARCHIVED.
>
>Yes. Various sites are archiving the press releases. What follows is an
>incomplete list of some of the sites containing the documents that have
>been released to date. This FAQ will be updated to reflect new sites as
>they become known.
