UNITED STATES INFORMATION SERVICE The United States Information Service was established by the National Emergency Council in March 1934, primarily to aid Washington visitors seeking general information or contact with some particular phase of governmental activity. With thousands of visitors coming constantly to Washington, many of them for the first time, the Service acts as a central bureau through which the stranger may locate that branch of the Government with which his particular problem is concerned. A trained staff, equipped with charts, indexes, and files, is able to supply names, room, and telephone numbers, and other information necessary to assist the inquirer in reaching an appropriate and helpful division of Government. This facility is planned to relieve the public of needless waste of time and effort in locating the desired Department. The Service does not make appointments, but directs the inquirer to the office at which appointments may be arranged. The office does not provide information on questions of policy, as it is felt that such specific questions can best be answered by the agencies themselves. The Service is kept currently informed of Executive orders, changes in departmental organization and other important developments of public interest and concern. Similar information offices with like functions have been established in headquarters offices of the various State directors for the National Emergency Council. The Information Service is located in room 500, Commercial National Bank Building, Fourteenth and G Streets NW., Washington, D.C. Its telephone number is District 4030. |
