Requesting Copies of the Commission Report to the President:
The Commission has produced sufficient copies of the report to accommodate limited public distribution. If you would like to receive a copy, please contact the Commission at 703-699-2950. All printed copies also include a CD-ROM insert which contains the report in a searchable electronic format.
- If you are located near our main office in Crystal City, Virginia and can physically pick up copies, please inform our receptionist with your name, telephone number, and how many copies you would like, and we will have them waiting for you at the Commission's front office (6th floor, Suite 600).
- If you want copies of the report mailed to you, please give us your name, full address (we cannot send to P.O. Box numbers), telephone number, and your FedEx account number. If you do not provide an account to which we can bill the mailing costs, there is a possibility that we may not be able to accommodate your request.
If you would like an electronic CD-ROM copy (without the printed paper report), the Commission has produced a limited number of CD-ROMs available at no charge upon request. The CD-ROM may be particularly useful for persons who do not have broadband internet access and therefore cannot easily download the electronic copy of the report, and who do not want or need the two-volume, 760+ page printed paper report.
