Hello!

     I am in favor of public domain access to citations of U.S. court 
cases.

     I think that a private monopoly on U.S. court citations held by 
a foreign firm is very inappropriate. There should not even be a 
suggestion that court citations should be held by a private company.

     Further, I think that information on all federal court cases 
should be publicly available on the Internet. We as taxpaying 
citizens have already paid for this information; why should we have 
to pay for it again.

     Please ignore the letters from the federal judges who oppose to 
the free and public access to information to federal court cases.

     Thank you.

Truly yours,
