Content-Type: text/plain

The September 2006 version of the 109th Congress Congressional Directory is
available on GPO Access <http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cdirectory>.

The Congressional Directory is the official directory of the U.S. Congress,
prepared by the Joint Committee on Printing (JCP). It presents: 

* Short biographies of each member of the Senate and House, listed by state
or district.

* Committee memberships, terms of service, administrative assistants and/or
secretaries, and room and telephone numbers for Members of Congress.

* Lists officials of the courts, military establishments, and other Federal
departments and agencies, including D.C. government officials, governors of
states and territories, foreign diplomats, and members of the press, radio,
and television galleries. 

According to the U.S. Code (44USC721), the Congressional Directory is made
available during the first session of each new Congress. Subsequent to
delivery of the printed 1997-1998 Congressional Directory, the JCP
established the practice of producing periodic online interim issues to
ensure the public's economical access to current Congressional information.
The frequency of these online revisions will be determined by the volume of
changes submitted for incorporation. No printed counterpart will exist for
these online publication revisions. 

GPO Access contains directories for the 104th (1995-96) Congress forward, as
well all Interim editions (online-only revisions) for the 105th Congress
forward. Documents are available as ASCII text and Adobe Portable Document
Format (PDF) files.
