I can report that we are quite close to getting some surprisingly action on
the longstanding request that the federal government put copies of contacts
on the Internet.    I would be *very* useful and timely to have some
signatures for this short letter to OMB director Mitch Daniels, who has
taken a personal interest in this matter.

Dear Mr. Daniels:

We are writing to express our continued interest in efforts by OMB provide
greater public access to federal government contracts on the Internet.  We
understand that your staff is engaged in a review of steps that might be
undertaken to facilitate the routine placement of federal government
contracts on the Internet, including for example, standard requirements that
persons who enter into such contracts provide an electronic verison that is
redacted and ready to make available on the Internet.    We strongly support
efforts to move this proposal forward.

Sincerely....

to add your name, send Name/Organization and contact info to
