The first place to look for federal government information is the new (2005) site called FirstGov.gov. This site has a quick link on the left margin to "Laws" where you can find a law by search engines, plus many others links. One of the most used - to find and print out any government form. Imagine! Social Security, IRS, you name it, forms. Even passport applications. Incidentally, the government has a general phone number of 1-800-FED-INFO (800/333-4636) that can get you a real live person at most federal agencies.

Google’s US Government Search Service Google has launched a US government search site. Although primarily created for government employees, the general public can access the search facilities to find government information.
