Ellen and All-
I had come across this also this week while I was doing some updating on the
Waupaca County site. I have read through some of the site pages, etc. and
have not found if this information is now again on line, etc. Have you found
a new page for this information Ellen or anyone.
After reading the court order information I am unclear as to exactly which
information will not be available again. If anyone out there receives or
finds updates on this matter would you please share as I am also interested
in knowing the out come and hoping the land records will again be on the
net.

Subject: [WIGEN-L] BLM Land Database Closed
Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 20:54:40 -0600
Did I miss something?
I apologize if this was already posted.
I just found out that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) database has been
closed. This was a great place to get land purchase information.
According to another list:
The U.S. Department of the Interior, has been directed by court order to
disconnect all databases that allow access to "individual Indian trust
data". Since the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is under the directive of
the DOI, it has been disconnected, along with some other vital databases.
You can read the DOI memos concerning the court orders at:
http://www.doi.gov
Briefly, the databases that seem to be affected are:
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
Bureau of Reclamations (BOR)
Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS)
Minerals Management Services (MMS)
National Parks Service (NPS)
Office of Surface Mining (OSM)
>From the information I have, they are working diligently to comply with
>the
court order so that we can restore full service but no one knows how long
that will take.
If you have a link to them from your site, you might want to go change it.
