Many of the documents on the site are "pdf" files. To read a pdf file you
will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your PC. Some of these files are very large
and can take a long time to load if you are using a 56k modem. Most are worth the wait as
they are the original document as published by various Federal and State agencies.
