executive branch department, presidential offices, independent establishmen=
ts and government corporations, etc.) or go directly to a specific Record =
Group (R.G.) of interest (i.e. go directly to a listing of the Records of =
the Bureau of the Census). We have also incorporated links from the =
=A1Title List=A2 pages to the status code listing, information about how =
to order copies of electronic records, and our e-mail box. Comments =
about our redesign are greatly appreciated and questions about our =
holdings encouraged. Please send them to our general e-mail box at =

handouts are also available. =20
