THE WHITE HOUSE ONLINE - THE FIRST YEAR
  Date:     February 02, 194
Here is a brief outline of the principle first year achievements
of the White House Electronic Public Access Project.
1.  In the six months since June 1st, we have received over
    100,000 email messages to the President & Vice President.
1a. This is the first Administration to accept email from the public.
1b. President Clinton is the first sitting President to send
    email to citizens -- 5th graders in Oxford, Ohio spring 1993.
2. This is the first administration to establish internet
   addresses for President & Vice President:
     president at whitehouse.gov   vice-president at whitehouse.gov
3. Over 220,000 requests for information have been processed
   electronically since September 1, 1993.
4. In 1993 1,600 public documents were published electronically.
4a. This is the first administration to establish an electronic
    self-service public document library: publications at whitehouse.gov
    The service opened experimentally in December 1993.
5. The first ever live online computer conference by a sitting
   Vice President was done by VP Gore on 1/13/94.  The VP took 10
   questions in a 45 minute forum.
6.  We initiated the first White House forums on commercial networks:
          America Online, Compuserve, GEnie, MCI Mail
7. Americans Communicating Electronically, an all volunteer
   organization, was started in Spring 1993.  ACE represents the NII
   in action.  It aims to provide  government services
   electronically and enable interactive communications between
   government agencies and the public, especially those citizens
   without modem equipped computers.
8. Starting in November, we became the first administration to
   post audio files of the President's Saturday radio talks to the
   internet.  This use of internet radio is our latest experiment .
We plan to continue to roll out new features and services during 1994:
     The budget on CD-ROM [made available Monday, February 7]
     Multi-media CD-ROM of the first year's public documents
     Mosaic "Welcome to The White House"
     Improved email technology
     Improved publications at whitehouse.gov technology
     Additional commercial White House forums
