     HISTORIC FILE OF SUPREME COURT DECISIONS AVAILABLE ON-LINE
  
       I am pleased to announce that the U.S. Air Force has agreed 
  to release a historic file of Supreme Court decisions from its 
  FLITE ("Federal Legal Information Through Electronics") system.  
  The file consists of over 7000 Supreme Court opinions dating from 
  1937 through 1975, from volumes 300 through 422 of U.S. Reports.
  
       The decisions can be accessed on the National Technical 
  Information Service's FedWorld system (http://www.fedworld.gov) 
  and will soon be available on the Government Printing Office's 
  GPO Access system (http://www.access.gpo.gov).
  
       This file had previously been determined to be exempt from 
  release under the Freedom of Information Act by the U.S. District 
  Court for the Northern District of California.  That decision was 
  not appealed.  Nonetheless, the Air Force has agreed as a matter 
  of discretion to release these materials.
