Well, let me just say this: We expect to have the document in electronic form as early as possible. Also, while we're not relying on AP, the company is making the file available on a passworded FTP site for its members. And FNS is promising to OCR it if necessary and send it to its subscribers this evening for $85. -Declan On Fri, 11 Sep 1998, John Young wrote:
Good piece, Declan. Is Time getting access to the restricted Congressional Web site which offers the Starr report early for members only drooling? Or are the major mediums getting preferential copies in concert with the deliberately under-provided House/Thomas/GPO rigs?
These are the four public access sites given by the NYT today, which notes that no one yet knows the digital format -- text, word processor or PDF images:
http://www.house.gov/icreport/ (House Information Resources)
http://www.house.gov/judiciary (House Judiciary Committee)
http://thomas.loc.gov/icreport/ (Library of Congress)
http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/icreport/ (Government Printing Office)
If its PDF then the delay is surely deliberately planned to favor those with scratchback access.
