Six Senators Call for Library of Congress to Upgrade THOMAS
From the article, “The Library of Congress� Thomas portal is inadequate in giving citizens access to House and Senate information, six senators said in a letter to the Librarian of Congress yesterday. Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Jon Corzine (D-N.J.), Russell Feingold (D-Wis.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) told James Billington that Thomas was a �bare-bones� site with limited searching tools. �In our view, the current form of Thomas is insufficient as a portal to the Congress,� the senators said. �We urge you to upgrade the Thomas Web site in order to make available to the public the nonproprietary services that are available on the Legislative Information System.�
