Abstract

Laws passed by Congress have a major impact on the creation, distribution, and usage of information. Broader legislative activities, such as appropriating (or not appropriating) funds for support of a program, also have significant impact. This article reviews recent public laws that: 1) affect the federal establishment, 2) affect today's society, and 3) attempt to create a better future.
