The LLSDC Web site has transitioned to a new server and nearly all parts of the Legislative Source Book have now, out of necessity been reworked, updated and assigned new links and URLs. The temporary site at http://www.llsdc.net/sourcebook/ will no longer be necessary and will soon be taken off line.  An attempt was made to use the same suffix for the HTML pages minus "/sourcebook/" and ".htm."  The PDF pages also have the same suffix minus "/sourcebook/docs/" and instead  use "/attachments/wysiwyg/544/"  A mnemonic device for "wysiwyg" is "what you see is what you get." Some files had to be divided as there is a 2000 KB file limit on the new server.  Please revise your Web links to the Source Book and its parts accordingly.  For suggested corrections and updates please contact the Source Book's principal editor, Rick McKinney (rick.mckinney@frb.gov),  Assistant Law Librarian, Federal Reserve Board Law Library, Washington, D.C. or the associate editor, Ellen Sweet (ellen.a.sweet@usdoj.gov), Legislative Reference Specialist, Tax Division, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.
