Description/AbstractOn August 12, 1999, the US Department of Commerce announced that Secretary William Daley would send to Congress legislation to close down the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). According to the departmental press release: After extensive review and analysis it was determined that the core function of NTIS, providing government information for a fee, is no longer needed in this day of advanced electronic technology. Established in 1950, NTIS' core business--the sale of government documents in microfiche and on paper--is rapidly becoming less of the necessity it was as agencies and groups have begun to post their reports on the Internet for free. This article discusses the proposed legislation.
