- This posting came via CLINTON@MARIST
-
- This came this morning from Eric Loeb at MIT via one of the
- Clinton servers. It is definitely a step in the right direction
- and I think he has the right idea on how we can utilize our
- skills to good advantage to help promote and nurture it.

-
- It turns out that all members of the House of Reps.
- are going to have the option of accepting email over
- an internet gateway to the House system as of January.
-
- The new House system (ISIS) will be released then. It
- is in test now.
-
- I would recommend that we all go out and volunteer to help
- our local congressional district office with their
- computers. At some point we will also each need to take
- some responsibility for getting a good lobbying effort
- going within our districts, so that our congress-people
- will know that the Internet connection is desired by the
- constituents.
