Note: Many links are using the Government
Printing Office's PURLs, or Persistent Uniform Resource Locators,
rather than direct links to the federal agencies. This improves
the links accuracy, in case the publication was moved to a different
URL. However, it does take an extra few seconds to retrieve
the website.
The federal agencies' websites are good starting points when
looking for general information on a relevant topic, or when
looking for specific information that you know the agency handles.
Virtually all of the websites have a site index or a search
engine, if you have difficulty navigating the site.
