The Commission has produced sufficient copies of the report to accommodate limited public distribution. If you would like to receive a copy, please contact the Commission at 703-699-2950. All printed copies also include a CD-ROM insert which contains the report in a searchable electronic format.
If you would like an electronic CD-ROM copy (without the printed paper report), the Commission has produced a limited number of CD-ROMs available at no charge upon request. The CD-ROM may be particularly useful for persons who do not have broadband internet access and therefore cannot easily download the electronic copy of the report, and who do not want or need the two-volume, 760+ page printed paper report.
