This page provides links to government Web sites that may assist you in your research. U.S. Supreme Court: This is a link to the U.S. Supreme Court's official Web site, which contains opinions, links to oral arguments and other information about the court. Thomas: Thomas is a complete guide to U.S. Congressional activity. Here, you'll find the text of laws, bills and hearings. For a complete list of what Thomas offers, click here. Congressional Universe: Click on "Congressional Universe" from this page. This is a database provided by UNC that offers the text of laws, bills, regulations and testimony. It also offers information on congressional committees, members of Congress and hot topics. We think Congressional Universe is a bit more manageable than Thomas, but you must have a UNC connection to access it. FirstGov: This is the "yahoo" guide to the U.S. government on the Web. The site was launched in September 2000 as the only official U.S. Government portal to 30 million pages of government information, services, and online transactions.

The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions. This site offers links to regulations, news, complaint forms, bureaus within the FCC and licensing information.
