Dear List Members,

1. Being an external legal advisor to the European Commission (DG 
XIII/E-2), I have been asked to draw up a report on the origin and the 
development of GILS in the US. (Before, I worked as a lawyer in a large 
lawfirm in Holland.)

2. After browsing the Web and subscribing to this List, I have been able 
to obtain a lot of valuable information on GILS. However, some questions 
remain unanswered. Hopefully, this List will provide solutions. (Please 
note that I joined this List only recently, for which reason I may have 
missed  some of the answers, in which case I would be grateful of you 
could refer thereto.)

3. I know that GILS is based on various measures: (1) The National 
Information Structure, (2) the Paperwork Reduction Act 1980 (as amended 
in 1995), (3) US Public Law 44 USC 3511 (4) OMB-Bulletin 95-01 and (5) 
OMB Circular A-130. However, I do not understand what the 
(hierarchical) relation between these various measures is.

4. Secondly, I noticed that GILS only relates to Federal agencies. I 
would like to know whether any comparable comprehensive 
measures/programs/plans  exist applying to agencies at a lower (State) 
level.
 
I would be grateful if you could provide me with any answers, and I would 
like to thank you in advance for your co-operation.
