On the cover: The Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial during
the restoration of the monument (from the holdings of the National Park
Service).
In preparation for the bicentennial of the Nation's Capital and the
new millennium, the National Park Service embarked on a mission to
repair the external damage to the monument caused by weather and time
and renovate various systems of the interior of the monument. The
monument, which opened to the public in 1888, was erected in honor of
the Nation's first President, George Washington, and is the tallest
freestanding masonry structure in the world. The restoration project
includes repairing the stonework, cleaning the facade, modernizing the
heating and cooling systems, improving the elevator, and updating the
facilities and refurbishing the exhibits on the observation level. To
beautify the monument during its restoration while creating a safe
workplace for restoration workers, National Park Service constructors
erected scaffolding that, in the words of designer Michael Graves,
``echoes the obelisk's beauty even while covering its exterior.'' For
more information on the Washington Monument and its restoration,
scheduled for completion in 2000, visit the National Park Service
Internet site at www.nps.gov/wamo.
Special thanks to Terry J. Adams, Office of Public Affairs, National
Park Service for his cooperation and permission to use the photograph of
the monument for the cover of the Manual.

Preface
As the official handbook of the Federal Government, The United States
Government Manual provides comprehensive information on the agencies of
the legislative, judicial, and executive branches. The Manual also
includes information on quasi-official agencies; international
organizations in which the United States participates; and boards,
commissions, and committees.
A typical agency description includes a list of principal officials,
a summary statement of the agency's purpose and role in the Federal
Government, a brief history of the agency, including its legislative or
executive authority, a description of its programs and activities, and a
``Sources of Information'' section. This last section provides
information on consumer activities, contracts and grants, employment,
publications, and many other areas of public interest.
The 2000/2001 Manual was prepared by the Presidential and
Legislative Publications Unit, Office of the Federal Register. Maxine L.
Hill was Lead Editor, Karen L. Ashlin was Managing Editor, and Anna
Glover was Chief Editor, assisted by Brad Brooks and Karen Thornton.
The Federal Register and Its Special Editions
The Manual is published as a special edition of the Federal Register
(see 1 CFR 9.1). Its focus is on programs and activities. Persons
interested in detailed organizational structure, the regulatory
documents of an agency, or Presidential documents should refer to the
Federal Register or one of its other special editions, described below.
Issued each Federal working day, the Federal Register provides a
uniform system for publishing Presidential documents, regulatory
documents with general applicability and legal effect, proposed rules,
notices, and documents required to be published by statute.
The Code of Federal Regulations is an annual codification of the
general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register. The Code
is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to Federal
regulation. The Code is kept up to date by the individual issues of the
Federal Register.
The Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents serves as a timely,
up-to-date reference source for the public policies and activities of
the President. It contains remarks, news conferences, messages,
statements, and other Presidential material of a public nature issued by
the White House during the week reported.
A companion publication to the Weekly Compilation is the Public
Papers of the Presidents, which contains public Presidential documents
and speeches in convenient book form. Volumes of the Public Papers have
been published for every President since Herbert Hoover, with the
exception of Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose papers were published
privately.
Other Office of the Federal Register Publications
The Office of the Federal Register publishes slip laws, which are
pamphlet prints of each public and private law enacted by Congress. Slip
laws are compiled annually as the United States Statutes at Large. The
Statutes volumes contain all public and private laws and concurrent
resolutions enacted during a session of Congress;
[[Page iv]]
recommendations for executive, legislative, and judicial salaries;
reorganization plans; proposed and ratified amendments to the
Constitution; and Presidential proclamations. Included with many of
these documents are sidenotes, U.S. Code and statutes citations, and a
summary of their legislative histories.
