BLM Web, Fax Sites Provide Up-to-the-Minute Agency Information

Information about the Bureau of Land Management, the Nation's largest land manager, is available via the World Wide Web and through a new, automated faxing system. An agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the BLM manages 270 million acres of public lands.

"These exciting, high-tech communications tools will help us serve thousands of public land users in a far more efficient manner than was previously possible," says BLM acting director Mike Dombeck. "In seconds, customers can read about key BLM actions and new initiatives on the public land."

The BLM web site features --

• a national map keyed to consumer points of interest on BLM lands;
• access to the latest BLM press releases, speeches, Congressional testimony, and regulatory actions;
• a calendar of BLM events;
• links to other BLM web sites and State Offices;
• public contacts for BLM programs from the Adopt-a-Horse program to Wild & Scenic Rivers; and
• information on the main administrative divisions of the BLM and the officials who manage them.

More features are under construction for future unveiling. The Internet location (URL) of the BLM web site is http://www.blm.gov. Your visits and comments are welcome!
