            Exchange,  Inc.,  are  information links between the federal
            government and academia.  They allow "one-stop shopping" for
            the latest information about research and educational oppor-
            tunities from participating agencies and  minority  institu-
            tions.   FEDIX  and MOLIS are easy to use and provide access

            research   opportunities,  program  contacts,  scholarships,
            research equipment, procurement notices, and minority oppor-
            tunities.   An  electronic mail feature is also provided for
            users to communicate with the system operators.

            MOLIS databases support the White House Initiative  on  His-
            torically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) by providing
