C. SENDING E-MAIL TO THE WHITE HOUSE
The White House e-mail system is under construction. This is a new
project and suffers from all of the problems common to a startup
operation. The Communications office is currently working on
defining what this system will do, as well as trying to come up
with equipment and staffing to make sure that it works. E-mail
messages are currently being printed out and responses are being
sent out via US Mail.
Nobody wants this new venture to work more than the staff that has
devoted so many hours to getting it up and running. But much time
and effort will be required before the system is truly interactive.
In the mean time, they will need a little patience from the
electronic community. If you send a message to the White House,
please include a US Post office address for replies.
You can send e-mail to the following accounts:
