Dear Sir(s)

     It is a sad and stupid situation when the American people have 
the right to access to information but are forced to pay for it 
because of a CITATION system that is copyrighted. This is analogous 
to having a Federal highway paid for by everyone, with my own private 
toll booth out in front. "Sure you drive on it -- but you have to pay 
me first."

     To expect others to pay to use a citation system, when an equal 
and free citation system exists is ludicrous in the extreme. Indeed 
perhaps if people had easier access to the law, they might understand 
it better and our society could move away from the litigious idiocy 
that it has become. 

     Thank you for your time

                                   Ron Krause
