(1994), the Congressional Record, Volume 140 (1994), the Congressional 
Record Index, Volumes 138 to 140 (1992-1994), and Congressional Bills 
from the 103d Congress (1993-1994).The Federal Register, Congressional 
Record and Congressional Bills databases provide ASCII text files, with 
all graphics included as individual files in TIFF format. Brief ASCII 
text summaries of each Federal Register entry are also available. The 
Congressional Record Index provides ASCII text files with all graphics 
included as individual files in TIFF format. The Congressional Bills 
are available as ASCII text files and as Adobe Acrobat Portable 
Document Format (PDF) files. Users with Acrobat viewers can display and 
print typeset page facsimiles of enrolled bills.
    Seating is limited to 60 people per session. Individuals interested 
in attending should contact the GPO's Office of Electronic Information
