The name of the program is derived from two elements: "GOVERN" refers to our special, database retrieval program; and "U.S." refers to the particular database of governmental representatives which is provided with this version. Hereafter, the program will be referred to simply as GOVERN. The program provides an extensive database of all of the principal representatives in the three branches of the federal government of the United States of America: i.e., the Congress, the Executive Branch, and the Judiciary. GOVERN makes it easy to find and select the representatives with whom you desire to communicate, and it automates the addressing and printing of your letters and envelopes. Because the program is designed to work with your existing word processor, it is easy to learn and convenient to use. We believe that this is an important program and should become a standard part of your basic, communications utilities to be used both as an individual citizen and as a member of a profession or other special interest group(s) to which you belong. By reading this introductory Summary and by some trial and error on your computer, it will take about 45 minutes to learn the program. The database of representatives is up-dated frequently, and it is revised completely at the end of the year and after national elections. You will want to keep that timing in mind to determine if the version which you possess is current. That can be done by observing, on the diskette, the date on the database file called US.DB. GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 3 This particular copy of GOVERN is a Basic Version of the program, and it is distributed on a shareware basis. Our objective is to introduce you to the program and to encourage your involvement in the political process by making it easy to communicate your ideas and opinions to the proper people. No warranty is provided with this copy. We encourage you to make unmodified copies and give them to others. If you use this program and believe that it is worthwhile, we request that you obtain a registered copy, which is an Expanded Version of the program with its enhanced sorting routines, expanded databases, and the most current listing of representatives. Also, registration qualifies you for participating in the Royalty Trust. The fee for registration is $28. For registered users, subsequent revisions of the databases are reduced by 50% of the current list fee. For details, see the Registration Section on page 11. Please note that your name and address and all correspondences with us are confidential; we do not sell, give, or in any way distribute the identities of our registrants. The GOVERN package contains 7 files, 4 of which are essential to operate the program. These files are briefly described below. By understanding the essential files and how they operate, you will understand how to work the program. 1 - US.DB contains the names, addresses, district numbers, and other parameters of the members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Senate, the major Executive offices, and the Supreme Court. There are about 600 citations in all. Because this file is specifically structured for retrieval by our system, DO NOT MODIFY IT IN ANY WAY. 2 - LETTER.FIL is a sample file which demonstrates how to construct a letter and envelope, using your own word processor. To examine its contents, type this file from you DOS or retrieve it with your word processor. Constructing a LETTER.FIL is fairly straight-forward, however, you must use the specialized which are required by the GOVERN program to retrieve the names, addresses, and other parameters of the representatives. Because you use your own word processor in making the LETTER.FIL and the SEARCH.FIL, these routines should be familiar and easy. One important GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 4 proviso: If your word processor does not code in true ASCII but rather uses special bits to format files, then you must print your word processor file to an ASCII file before GOVERN can process it; and that also applies to the SEARCH.FIL. See the instruction manual of your word processor for the procedures to convert to an ASCII file. 3 - SEARCH.FIL is a sample of how you would construct a file in which you specify the desired representatives to whom you are sending your letter. Type this file from your DOS to view its contents. Note the command statement at the very top: .pick. US.DB IDCode This tells the program to pick, from the US.DB file, the IDCodes which are specified below that command line. 4 - GOVERN.EXE is the program which integrates your LETTER.FIL and your SEARCH.FIL with the US.DB to produce the final results. When you execute the command GOVERN, the program searches the US.DB for the records which you have specified in the SEARCH.FIL. When a matching record is found, the program uses that information to replace the "tagnames" where you have put them in your LETTER.FIL. Your letter is then displayed and/or sent to your printer or a disk file. 5 - NICE.EXE is an optional utility which can be use to clean-up certain artifacts in letter.files and search.files which some word processors generate when they convert your file to ASCII. 6 - MANUAL is the particular file in which you are now. It explains the program and includes an index of the representatives. It also explains the procedures for registration. 7 - README.1ST file is a brief introduction. GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 5 1.1 BASIC PROCEDURES AND ROUTINES STEP 1 - INSTALLING THE PROGRAM ------------------------------- First, do the standard procedures for installing any new software: make a back-up and/or working copy of the disks; and if you have a hard disk, create a directory called GOVERN and transfer the files to it. STEP 2 - TO EXERCISE THE BASIC COMMAND ROUTINES ------------------------------------------------ With your computer logged to the program disk or directory, type and send the following command: GOVERN This executes the GOVERN.EXE program; and you will see a display of the command syntax for the program, including the various printing options. Whenever confused or in doubt, you can always send that command and these instructions will be displayed. STEP 3 - TO EXERCISE A COMPLETE SET OF COMMANDS ----------------------------------------------- Next, run the program, using the sample templates which we have provided. Type the command: GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCH.FIL You will see GOVERN searching the database for the specified individuals and parameter, all of which are defined in the SEARCH.FIL. When a match is found, the parameters or , which are defined in the LETTER.FIL, are filled, and the letter is printed to your screen. If either step 2 or 3 cannot be made to function, then there has been an error in transcribing your copy. GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 6 STEP 4 - TO CONSTRUCT YOUR FIRST SEARCH.FIL ------------------------------------------- Now, proceed to make a "search.fil", which will be one of your basic utilities. In the Index of Representatives (See page 28), find the IDCodes of your particular representatives. Both the President and the Vice President are your representatives; also both of the Senators from your state belong to you. Your member of the House of Representatives is defined by your district number 1. Take those 5 IDCodes and, with your own word processor, make a file called: SEARCHMY.US. With the exception of the particular IDCodes, your search file should look something like the example below: .pick. US.DB IDCode E-P E-VP S-CA-AC S-CA-PW E-CA-RVD (If your word processor does not code in true ASCII, then print it to a new, temporary file using your ASCII convertion routine, and rename that file back to SEARCHMY.US.) ---------- 1. If you do not know your Representative's name or your District number, call you local library or city hall and someone will be able tell you. GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 7 Now, to check the construction of your SEARCHMY.US, send the command: GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCHMY.US That command tells GOVERN.EXE to do the following: first, using the SEARCHMY.US commands, "pick" from the US.DB database, using the IDCode field, those records which have the idcodes which you have listed below the command line; and then, using the LETTER.FIL, GOVERN fills in the which you have specified, and it prints your letter accordingly. As the program runs, you should see the sample LETTER.FIL displayed on your screen with them addressed to your particular representatives. If it does not work, you have made some error, either in how you structured SEARCHMY.US, or, you may have placed SEARCHMY.US on a disk that you did not define. Usually, the error messages will tell you what is wrong. If you had to used the ASCII conversion routine above, then another possible error might be an incomplete conversion that introduces occult characters. To eliminate them, run the file through our utility called NICE.EXE as follows: NICE SEARCHMY.US SEARCHMY.TEM Then, rename the SEARCHMY.TEM back to SEARCHMY.US; and try again the full command: GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCHMY.US. STEP 5 - TO SEND A REAL COMMUNICATION. ------------------------------------- Assuming that step 4 works properly, you are now ready to send a real communication. With your word processor, retrieve the utility file called LETTER.1. Type in your letter head. Adjust the as desired, but be sure to leave all of the which you want because GOVERN needs those to know what you want from the database and where you want it. If you are using a window envelope, adjust the to the proper positions. If you intend to use a regular envelope, then use GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 8 the utility file which we have provided and which is called ENVELOPE.1. Adjust the envelope to your specifications. You are now ready to run the program. To test your constructions, type the following command: GOVERN LETTER.1 SEARCHMY.US and GOVERN ENVELOPE.1 SEARCHMY.US The letters will be displayed on the console. To look at them carefully, use your pause control, or use GOVERN'S pause control, in which case the command would be: GOVERN LETTER.1 SEARCHMY.US /W If that does not look correct, make the necessary changes in those files, and test it again. You might want to verify precisely how the letters will look, and to do so, send the following command: GOVERN LETTER.1 SEARCHMY.US /out=TEST.FIL This will create a disk copy of the actual output. You can then retrieve, with your word processor, TEST.FIL and review it. When your construction looks correct, run the program with the printing options that are appropriate to your system. For example, if you are using pin feed paper, then send the following command: GOVERN LETTER.1 SEARCHMY.US /p Or, if you use single sheet paper and need to wait between each page to insert new paper, then send the following command: GOVERN LETTER.1 SEARCHMY.US /P/W GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 9 If you are printing separate envelopes, then after you have finished with the letters, send the following command: GOVERN ENVELOPE.1 SEARCHMY.US /P/W There are, of course, ways to print the letter and the envelope contiguously; and there are various permutations on these basic routines which have been presented above. Most of them, you can derive by yourself according to your individual needs. And many of them will be discussed in the following material. These basic instructions should be sufficient for many people to use the program effectively. If you desire more details, read the section in the manual which is entitled: EXPANDED EXPLANATION OF GOVERN. To correspond with us, you may make a SEARCH.FIL as follows: .pick. US.DB IDCode GOVERN GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 10 Chapter 2 REGISTRATION & FEES For a Registered Copy of the Expanded Version of GOVERN - US, payment of $28 is required. That includes the cost of materials, mailing, and processing. We also produce a database for the California State Government (i.e. GOVERN - CA), the fee for which is $28 for non-registered individuals and $16.00 for those who are registerd. Because The Foundation is a 501(c)3, tax-exempt entity, payment may be treated as a contribution and deducted as such from taxable income. For registered users, subsequent revisions of the program and the databases are 50% of the current list price. If you believe that this is a worthwhile program, then we urge you to become a registered user and thereby help to support the costs of maintaining and expanding this effort. You may order the registered copy by calling (415) 548-5433 or 845-8341 and by using your Visa or Master Card. Your Sponsor ID Number should be on the Registration Form below; and if one is there, please have the number available when calling. Or, you may mail that Registration Form directly. By ordering a registered copy of GOVERN, you receive three diskettes, 5 1/4" in size, formatted to MS-DOS 2.0, and compatible with IBM-PC, -EX, -AT and like systems. One of the diskettes is a copy of the shareware, Basic Version, which we encode with the ID number that has been assigned to you and which you may give to others, place on bulletin boards, sell on a shareware basis (i.e., charge less than $4), or otherwise distribute. The other diskettes are the Expanded Version of the program which is for your personal use and which we ask that you DO NOT distribute. Registration entitles you to participate in the Royalty Trust. By making and distributing copies of GOVERN to others, you receive a 10% royalty on the fees which are donated by those people whom you have sponsored. Details about the Trust are provided with your registered copy of GOVERN. The comparative features between this Basic Version and the GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 11 Expanded Version which is issued with Registered copies are as follows: GOVERN - US GOVERN - US BASIC VERSION EXPANDED VERSION ======================== ============================= The GOVERN merge program The GOVERN merge program with enhanced retrieval routines.

GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 13 Chapter 3 BACKGROUND GOVERN - U.S. (aka GOVERN) is produced by the Foundation for Infinite Survival, Inc. and is distributed as shareware. The Foundation is private, tax-exempt, non-partisan and non-sectarian organization, established in 1972. We use the idea of infinite survival as a general philosophy; and the enhancement of democratic institutions is one of the applications in which we are interested. We are self-supporting, deriving our income from fees-for-services and individual contributions. We encourage you to distribute as many copies as you desire and to obtain a current, registered copy. Contributions for registered copies are used to support the maintenance and enhancement of the program. GOVERN is designed and written by John Givens and C.A. Everone, Im., Ph.D. To attempt to discuss the major issues in current political affairs and the future prospects of government would require an extended discussion which is beyond the scope or intent of this document. Let it suffice to state simply that the United States (and virtually every other nation) is facing major social, economic, ecological, and historical challenges, the solutions to which will involve, in large measure, the political process. And in the most basic of terms, for you to successfully adapt to and take advantage of the changes will require your active and on-going participation in politics. Representative/democratic forms of government depend on good communication between those who are being represented and those who are doing the representation. As our society becomes increasingly more technological, complex, diversified, and integrated with the rest of the world, government will play an increasingly important role in your daily life and the securing of your long-range future. To help insure that you and your interests are part of the process and not left behind, you will have to remain informed and involved, the most basic form of which is to routinely express your opinions and ideas on current affairs to your elected and appointed representatives. GOVERN facilitates that type of communication, and we believe that this program should be GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 14 considered a standard utility in one's correspondence software. People who use GOVERN and who understand how to use their computer in communicating are in a unique position to have a major impact on current events and governmental policy. The idea is to make government and politics a regular part of your social affairs. Apart from it being important, the process can be fun, entertaining, and educational. Re-read the Constitution (a copy is included in the Expanded Version of GOVERN). Periodically, attend your local city counsel meeting; and if you can, visit your state legislature and vacation in Washington D.C. Most people now have access to a tremendous amount of good information from such sources as: National Public Radio (NPR); Public Broadcasting System's radio and television network (PBS); Cable News Network (CNN); certain programs on ABC, NBC, and CBS; and the newspapers and journals. In particular, The MacNeil/Lehrer New Report and the general programming on C-Span are excellent media for knowing the people involved in politics and the current issues. When you see or hear an issue that interests you, jot down the names of people and your ideas on the issues. Then, go to your computer, construct your thoughts into a short letter, and send it off to your representatives. Believe it or not, it actually counts to some degree; and on big issues, individual correspondence can have a major impact on policy. Most people have a considerable amount of resistance against corresponding to governmental representatives; however, routinely writing to your representatives is mostly a matter of behaviour formation and over-coming inertia. Once you become accustomed to doing it, it becomes fairly easy and does not take much time. In the section entitled CORRESPONDENCE PROTOCOL, we provide some suggestions on how to write effective letters. GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 15 Chapter 4 AN EXPANDED EXPLANATION OF GOVERN Usually, the information in the previous Summary Chapter is sufficient to begin using the program; and those procedures will cover most situations. If, however, you want further details, the following is a more extended discussion of the procedures for operating the GOVERN program. Necessarily, there will be some repetition of what has already been said in the Summary section. This Basic Version of GOVERN and the information in this instruction manual is intended for the usual situations in corresponding to your governmental representatives. The Enhanced Version of GOVERN includes, in addition to its expanded database, more sophisticated routines for searching, sorting, and organizing the database and your correspondence files; however, those procedures are NOT explained here. 4.1 Set-up and Basic Elements of GOVERN First, make a working copy of the GOVERN files. Write-protect your master, and store it in a safe place. If you give copies to other people, make them from your master. You may use GOVERN directly from your floppy disk. If using a hard disk, you will want to make a separate directory for the files and your individual correspondences. We suggest naming the directory GOVERN. To operate the program, you must have four essential files on you disk: the GOVERN.EXE and US.DB plus a LETTER.FIL and a SEARCH.FIL. What you name the LETTER.FIL and the SEARCH.FIL is arbitrary, and you will want to construct different names that fit particular correspondences. We suggest that you keep, as is, GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 16 the LETTER.FIL and the SEARCH.FIL which we have provided with the program, using them as reference templates for your other correspondences. To observe the proper command syntax for the program, log-on to the directory which contains the GOVERN files, and send the following command: GOVERN A complete explanation of the program syntax will be displayed. To observe how the program works, send the following command: GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCH.FIL To use GOVERN for your own correspondence, first construct your letter in a "finished" format, inserting at the appropriate locations the "tagnames" which the program uses to selectively retrieve, from the database, the desired elements of a record. For an example of how to construct a letter and envelope with "tagnames", see the example which we provide by using the following command: TYPE LETTER.FIL. After writing your letter, construct a SEARCH.FIL which identifies the particular representatives to whom you are sending your letter. Use the INDEX OF REPRESENTATIVES, in this manual, to find the ID Codes of the individuals whom you want. We have provided a file called SEARCH.FIL as an example, which you may use also as a template. Note that the first line of the SEARCH.FIL must be: .pick. US.DB IDCode. This simply tells the program to "pick", from the "US.DB", the representatives whose "IDCodes" match the ones in this file. Once you have constructed your "letter.fil" and your "search.fil", you are ready to run the program. Again, to obtain the proper syntax of the command statement, simply send the command GOVERN; and a complete explanation will be displayed. In the following sections, those procedures are explained in greater detail. GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 17 4.2 LETTER.FIL - making the letter and envelope On the program disk, the file called LETTER.FIL is an example of and can be used as a template for the letter which you will write and for your envelope, if you decide to use a typed envelope rather than a window envelope. The LETTER.FIL file is reproduced below: **** LETTER TEMPLATE ******************************************* Your Name Your Street Address Your City, State, & Zip Code Date <FirstName> <LastName> <Organization> <Street> <CityState> <ZipCode> <Telephone> <Salutation> THE TEXT OF YOUR LETTER .... ***************************************************************** Construct your letter with your own word processor, making a "finished or literal" file, which means that all of the formating commands are removed and the file is literally the way you want it to look. While writing your letter, insert, at the appropriate places, the "tagnames" which the GOVERN program uses to retrieve the selected portions from the US.DB. The US.DB contains the records on the representatives. Each record in the US.DB is segmented into relevant parameters or fields which are called "tagnames" and which are the following: <Organization> refers to the branch of government to which the individual belongs; i.e., House of Representatives, Senate, the Executive Offices, or the Supreme Court. GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 18 <IDCode> refers to the identification code which is assigned to each individual and which is most used to retrieve the records. This tagname is not used in the letter but is used in the SEARCH.FIL, as explained below. <LastName> refers to the last name of the representative. Junior and other degrees are usually not included. <FirstName> refers to the first name of the representative. Middle initials are treated as part of the first name. <Title> refers to the title of the representative; i.e. Representative, Senator, President, General, Secretary, Chief Justice, etc. <Salutation> is a standardized, generic salutation. It automatically includes the preface "Dear", the <Title>, the <LastName> and a ":" (i.e., Dear <Title> <LastName>:). If you do not want that construction, make your own by using the desired tagnames (e.g., <Title> <FirstName> <LastName>:). <Street> refers to the building and street address of the representative. Only Washington, D.C. locations are in the US.DB. <CityState> refers to Washington, D.C. <ZipCode> refers to the Zip Code of the mailing address. <Telephone> is the phone number of the office in Washington, D.C. <Party> refers to the political party of the representative. Most of the Executive offices and all of the Judiciary do not have a designated political party. The "tagnames" must be used with these types of brackets <>. The tagnames may be spelled with upper or lower case, but there cannot be any spaces in the word. They may be placed anywhere in your letter; but where they are placed is exactly where the information will be incorporated into your letter. Again, see GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 19 the LETTER.FIL, which is provided with the programs as an example and template. To make an envelope you have several options. First, the most convenient and efficient way is to use a window envelope, in which case you simply have to indent the address in your letter to match the position of the window of the envelope. Then you can use a pin-feed printer and not pause for the insertion of single sheets of paper. If you desire to use an individually typed envelope, then you have two options: 1 - you may construct the envelope as the first or last page of your letter, in which case, you will print the letters and their envelopes sequentially; or 2 - you may construct a separate file for the envelopes, in which case, after printing all of your letters, you will recall the GOVERN program and specify something like the following command: GOVERN ENVELOPE.FIL SEARCH.FIL. In making an envelope file you will have to place the appropriate <tagnames> in the position where you want them printed. Below is an example and/or template of an ENVELOPE.FIL **** ENVELOPE TEMPLATE ***************************************** Your Return Address <Title> <FirstName> <LastName> <Organization> <Street> <CityState> <ZipCode> **************************************************************** GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 20 4.3 MAKING A SEARCH FILE SEARCH.FIL is the file which you create to retrieve the specific representatives that you desire to be inserted as addressees into your LETTER.FIL. You create the SEARCH.FIL with your own word processor. It must always begin with a statement which tells the GOVERN program to "pick" from the database file (i.e., US.DB), searching a particular field (e.g. IDCode, State, Party, etc,) the records which have been specified. See the following examples below. EXAMPLE 1 - Using the <IDCode> tagname. Usually, you will use the IDCode as your search field, and your SEARCH.FIL will look like this: .pick. US.DB IDCode H-TX-9 S-OH-HM E-P J-SC-WR EXAMPLE 2 - Using the <Party> search field. If you wished to retrieve records by political party, your SEARCH.FIL would look like this: .pick. US.DB Party Republican EXAMPLE 3 - Using the <State> search field. If you wished to retrieve records by state, your SEARCH.FIL would look like this: .pick. US.DB State Oregon Florida GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 21 EXAMPLE 4 - Using the <LastName> search field. If you wished to retrieve records by specific last names, your SEARCH.FIL would look like this: .pick. US.DB LastName Wilson Nunn Bush EXAMPLE 5 - Using a "wildcard" notation (*). In the SEARCH.FIL, you may use the standard "wildcard" command to truncate the spelling of a record, which would look like this: .pick. US.DB State Calif* That would retrieve all representatives from California. EXAMPLE 6 - Using the <Organization> search field. To retrieve records by organizational name, your SEARCH.FIL would look like this: .pick. US.DB Organization *Trust* *Trade* That would retrieve all entities in the Executive Branch which has in their title name the terms "Trust" and "Trade". In the Expanded Version, the Congressional Committees would also be retrieved. Note that the key word is bracketted by the wildcard symbol, "*". To retrieve from the Organizational field, this bracketting is required. GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 22 4.4 CONVERTING YOUR LETTER.FIL AND SEARCH.FIL TO ASCII CODE GOVERN, in order to operate, must have both the LETTER.FIL and the SEARCH.FIL coded in ASCII. Many word processors use other coding, and thus, the files which you make in them must be converted to ASCII. All of the word processors will have a routine for doing such a conversion, and reference is made to your particular manual for those special procedures. If, after converting your word processor files to ASCII files, they still cause the GOVERN program to malfunction, run those files through our utility program called NICE.EXE. This should strip non-ASCII characters and, hopefully, clean-up the file and make it "nice". The following are the procedures: NICE LETTER.FIL LETTER.TEM and NICE SEARCH.FIL SEARCH.TEM You would then use the new files with GOVERN, as follows: GOVERN LETTER.TEM SEARCH.TEM GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 23 4.5 EXECUTING THE PROGRAM GOVERN is the command which executes the GOVERN.EXE program to go and retrieve from the US.DB the records which you have selected in the SEARCH.FIL, integrating them into your LETTER.FIL for printing. To see the syntax of the GOVERN command, simply type GOVERN, and the program will display the following menu: THE CORRECT USAGE IS: govern <letter-file> <search-file> <options> ............................................................ <letter-file> = the file name of your letter template. <search-file> = the file of your list of addressees. <options> = one or more of the options below. /Print = sends the letters to your printer. /Wait = pauses between each page. /Out=<filename> = sends the letters to a disk file. /ff = form feed if required by your printer. .------------------------------------------------------------------. |Note: options must be preceded by a /. They may be upper | | or lower case or abbreviated, their spacing is not | | strict -- for example: | | | | GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCH.FIL /P/w /out=OUTPUT.FIL | | | | This will print your LETTER.FIL to everyone in your | | SEARCH.FIL, waiting between each page and sending a | | copy of all letters to your desired OUTPUT.FIL | | | '- Version 1.1 Copyright (c) 1989 Foundation for Infinite Survival -' The basic command syntax is the following: GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCH.FIL which sends the letter to the display but not the printer. GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 24 The expanded command syntax is the following: GOVERN LETTER.FIL SEARCH.FIL <options> in which the <options> command is one or more of the following printing options: /print sends the letters to the printer. /wait causes the processing to wait after each page for viewing on the display or for single sheet feeding if the print (/p) is invoked. /out=filename sends the letters to a disk file. You may send it to any disk and give the file any name. The printer options may be combined. For example: /print /wait prints a letter and then waits for single sheet feeding. /print /wait /out c:file would print the letters, wait for single sheet feeding, and also send a copy to a disk file on drive c. 4.6 Potential Errors The program has error messaging which should explain most situations. Common problems are: misspelling the <tagnames> in the LETTER.FIL, not including the initial command statement in the SEARCH.FIL, and other minor oversights. As explained previously, both the LETTER.FIL and the SEARCH.FIL must be in an ASCII format; and if your word processor does not code in ASCII, then you must use your ASCII conversion routines and, perhaps also, clean those ASCII files with our NICE.EXE utility program.

The basic rule is to keep it short and to your specific point. If you are expressing your opinion on a current issue, then, generally, you should confine the letter to one page. Your first statement might be something like the following: REGARDING THE U.S. FLAGGING OF OIL TANKERS IN THE PERSIAN GULF, I BELIEVE THAT THE WAR POWERS ACT SHOULD (NOT) BE INVOKED. In many instances, a brief statement such as that may be all that is warranted. Or, in the subsequent paragraph, you might elaborate on why you hold your particular opinion. Also, it is a good idea to ask the representative what his or her position is on this matter. If you do not receive a response, then that may tell you something about that particular representative's responsiveness to one's constituency; and you may want to write again. If you receive a response, and the representative's position is different from yours, that may warrant a rebuttal on your part. Sometimes it is a good idea to submit Xerox copies of supporting articles and other information. If you belong to an association or group which holds the same opinion, it is worthwhile to mention the name of the group, being that political representatives tend to respond better to blocks of votes. If you have contributed money to the representative's election, then it might be appropriate to mention that you have taken an active GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 26 part in the person's campaign. In addition to expressing your opinion on current events, there are many other reasons for corresponding with representatives: asking for information on specific topics in which the government is involved; asking for help in resolving problems with agencies; asking when representatives will be giving public lectures in your area; informing them of studies and projects which you and your associations have done; etc. Generally, you will communicate to your personal representatives. However, there will be many occasions when you will want to communicate with other representatives whom you know are active in an area of interest to you. Specific instructions on how to find the particular representatives is given in the section entitled INDEX OF REPRESENTATIVES. In terms of the salutation to the representative in your letter, you may use the <Salutation> tagname, which is complete and which was discussed previously. Or you may design your own. Some people use in the letter: Dear <Title> <LastName>: or <Title> <LastName>: However, you should use what is appropriate to you. On the envelope, some people use: Honorable <FirstName> <LastName> or <Title> <FirstName> <LastName> GOVERN - U.S. (Basic Version) May,1989 27 Chapter 5 INDEX OF REPRESENTATIVES Every citizen in the United States has 5 elected representatives in the Federal Government: One Representative in the House of Representatives who comes from your geographical district in which you live; Two Senators who represent your state in general; and Two Executive Officers, the President and the Vice President. Use the following Index to find your representatives and others to whom you may want to communicate. Your President, Vice President, and Senators are obvious. However, if you do not know who is your particular member of the House of Representatives, call your local library, and they will know your District number. To correspond with us, you may make a a SEARCH.FIL, using the term GOVERN as your IDCode tagname.
