The United States Government Manual 2011
As the official handbook of the Federal Government, the United States Government Manual is the best source of information on the activities, functions, organization, and principal officials of the agencies of the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branches. It also includes information on quasi-official agencies and international organizations in which the United States participates. Particularly helpful for those interested in where to go and whom to contact about a subject of concern is each agency's "Sources of Information" section, which provides addresses and telephone numbers for use in obtaining specifics on consumer activities, contracts and grants, employment, and publications.
A Wealden Round Robin
The Country of Kent, situated in the south-east corner of England, is famous for the “white cliffs of Dover” which face the French coast only 20 miles away. In the centre of the Country there is an area known as The Weald, often referred to as “the garden of England” as it is abundant in the growing of fruit of all kinds and until the 1970’s grew most of the hops used in the production of English beer. Our fictional story concerns the lives of a variety of residents in a typical village in this area immediately prior to the 2nd World War and throughout until its end in 1945; their romance, successes, failures, disappointments and tragedies. The author lived throughout this period in a village in The Weald of Kent.
