Task Force on Documents

FOR the purpose of requesting the Governor to create a Task
Force to study and evaluate the system of collecting,

of providing better citizen access to publications and
reports generated by State and local government agencies;
and

distribution of government publications is inadequate to
assure widespread access to much of the printed information

and local documents by libraries, archives, and government
agencies; and
