Beginning this month, the US Agency for International Development, (USAID) West Coast Outreach monthly newsletter, West Coast International News, will be available to several million readers through Internet and a number of electronic bulletin board services. Persons interested in automatically receiving the West Coast International News at an e-mail address should contact the West Coast Outreach office at usaid.wco@ortel.org or telephone requests to (310) 533-0770 or fax requests to (310) 533-1325.

West Coast International News contents include:

-  USAID World and West Coast News
-  Calendar of USAID WCO international events
-  Current USAID solicitations
-  Information on sources of capital, finance and more.

As noted in the July newsletter, the use of Internet on-line services will be a key method for USAID to achieve wider dissemination of procurement opportunities and information in a timely manner. There are also several economical means to access the information without establishing an Internet account.

- In Los Angeles, California the USAID gopher server is available through the Los Angeles Free-net. Use your modem to dial (818) 776-5000 and choose the government center menu.

- In Portland, Oregon use your modem to dial (503) 227-3962 and choose the Portals menu.

- In Seattle, use your modem to dial (206) 386-4140 and choose the Seattle Community Network menu.

There are also many public libraries that offer this service free of charge. USAID West Coast Outreach will participate in a presentation of "Business Information Via Internet" at the Huntington Park Library in Huntington Park, California on August 17. Other organizations that provide Internet services to the public are encouraged to contact West Coast Outreach for assistance in accessing USAID information.
