I wish I had this federal rule on hand to review. I'm sure I'm missing
something, but it strikes me as highly undemocratic, this rule. I mean,
if the people who are in a position to know about and comment on a budget
are prevented from speaking about the budget, then how the hell are any of
us supposed to know where our money goes, how it's being spent or
misspent, who needs more or less next year...???

The budget's not "black", it's freely available online. A summary can be found at the OMB Web site <http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2004/interior.html>.

If there's something specific you'd like to know, the NPS (National Park Service) allows FOIA requests. See the dedicated NPS Web page <http://www.nps.gov/refdesk/npsfoia.html>.

Many government regulations are available at a new government Web site, regulations.gov <http://www.regulations.gov/>. A more comprehensive search of the US Code <http://uscode.house.gov/> might take longer, but could provide better information.

Cheers -
