Some carefully crafted searches on this server returned a lot of references 
to 9 CFR.
What the heck is 9 CFR?  It seems that the number has been decremented (It 
should be 10).

So you can actually search and get some results.  Realize that there are a 
lot of references
to the "old" Part 20 and no references to the new Part 20.

I sent an email asking for info and just got the canned response.

I think the staff of the House of Representatives have discovered a basic 
axiom of the WWW
(maybe we can call this Montgomery's theorem):  The amount of effort that 
must be expended to
maintain a WWW page is directly proportional to the value and timeliness of 
the information
contained therein.

Check out my own example at http://www.brooks.af.mil/AFMOA/afmoa.html
