accessable to the public," stated Larry Irving. "As we move towards our
goal of rapidly expanding our national information infrastructure, we
want to ensure that the public is kept aware of our activities."
The Information Infrastructure Task Force (IITF) Bulletin Board may

computer and a telephone modem. The bulletin board is available to the
public 24-hours each day, seven days a week.
