When I follow your two links they now have an underscore between the last two words, but one of them (the last one) still results in "Not Found", and the other gets me "TRIGGERING NON-CLIENT ATTEMPT Access Failure: Time of Failure: Wed Jun 22 13:28:20 CDT 2005 We could not identify the web page you were accessing the Congress Merge database from. This is usually due to use of a Personal Firewall product on your personal computer which is overly aggressive in its blocking the transmission of certain information. If you are concerned about your privacy, note that we at Congress Merge only need your web browser to transmit the HTTP_REFERER parameter, which tells us the page you are accessing our database from. We only use any data we collect to determine who your members of Congress are and it is not retained after your query is complete." The two new links (the first two in your post) do work but they don't really contain new relevant information that would serve as a counter argument to what I said. Yes Congrees has final control and legislative authority over DC, but that doesn't change the fact that the Feds really don't run the city. As I said before "The local government runs the city within limitations imposed by the feds. The Feds may say "you can't do that", or even every now an then "you must do this", but the local government makes most of the decisions and all the day to day operations." Tim
