It is indeed going to be a fast paced year and many changes are inevitable. I decided to try to help by developing a WEB page on the farm bill process and FY 1996 budget cycle. This message introduces SANET users to the page -- which is under construction and in many respects incomplete. But it is there and I want to begin to see if any one will use it. If not I will not put the time/money into maintaining it. I intend to continue adding material already in hand over the next week or so. If there are things you would like me to add, send e-mail as instructed on the pages. The WEB page for BCS is on my business and tries to give people a sense of what we do. There are several links between the BCS page and the Farm Bill/sus ag page. The URL for the BCS page is: http://www.hillnet.com/bcs/ And the URL for the Farm Bill page is: http://www.hillnet.com/farmbill/ For those of you with pages, please build in a link to our farm bill page if you think it would be of interest to people using your page. For those of you interested in HillNet, I also enclose some general information on it. I decided to start a computer/Internet business a few months ago with my friend and resident computer genius, John Evans.

We keep waiting for that call from Newt, but I guess he has Thomas on his side...: HillNet Computer and Internet Services Applications and Training We specialize in customized solutions to information management and communication needs. The World Wide Web (WWW) is a powerful way to explore and utilize the reach of the Internet. The Web is one of the most convenient and low-cost ways to connect individuals, ideas, and information. We can design your Web page for you or with you, whether a simple announcement of who you are, what you do, and how to get more information, or a virtual storefront offering easy, immediate access to products and services, or information and ideas. We will help you find the best way to place your Web page on the Net and sup port it on an ongoing basis.
