THE POLITICS STAFF of the Congressional Quarterly Weekly
Report is dedicated to bringing its readers the freshest,
most interesting and most authoritative political
information available anywhere.

One way to achieve that goal as we gear up for the 1994
House, Senate and gubernatorial elections is to put our
ear to the Internet.

We can't be everywhere; we have always relied on the help 
of knowledgeable people throughout the country for our 
coverage. ``Who's about to announce for that seat?'' ``What 
really happened at that campaign stop?'' ``What's the 
reaction to that big vote?''

The Internet offers us a quick and comprehensive way to 
talk to many of you at once, and an easy way for you to 
share with your colleagues.

We are interested in all sizes and types of items. Insight 
on who's about to do what is just as important as events 
that may have been reported on locally but that may not 
have filtered back to Washington yet.

To aid the process, Congressional Quarterly is establishing 
a series of electronic mailing lists for those interested 
in congressional, gubernatorial, and presidential elections 
to exchange information with CQ political reporters and 
each other. A quick note sent off to one of the lists will 
alert us and your colleagues to the latest political 
developments in your state.

Each of the 50 states and Washington, D.C., has its own 
mailing list. Each is named with its postal abbreviation. 
To subscribe to one of the lists, send us e-mail at 
[C Q POLITICS] at [CQALERT.COM] with this in the message field:

SUBSCRIBE [the postal abbreviation of the state you're 
interested in] [space] [your full name]

We are gathering names for the lists right now; we will 
soon reply with full information on how to send messages to 
the lists.

Please pass this note along to others; the more people we 
have subscribing, the better this service will work.

Questions? Contact Tom Moore at CQ at [T--OO--E] at [CQALERT.COM] or 
(202) 822-1427.
