Your roadmap to the nation’s capital: Washington Information Directory 2015–2016

Washington, DC. Because it’s filled with so many different governmental and nongovernmental agencies, offices, and officials, Washington, D.C., feels like a foreign land to many Americans. How do they find the right contact at the right organization? Where do they find specifics about equal employment opportunities, finance and investments, housing, immigration, terrorism, internships, or consumer product and food safety? Washington Information Directory 2015–2016 from CQ Press Reference is the perfect place to turn. 

With more than 10,000 listings, the 2015–2016 edition of Washington Information Directory is the essential one-stop source for information on U.S. governmental and nongovernmental agencies and organizations. It features three easy ways to find information—by name, by organization, and through detailed subject indexes—and provides capsule descriptions that help users quickly and easily find the contact information for

• Federal departments and agencies
• Congressional members, committees, and organizations
• Nongovernmental and international organizations
• Courts and judiciary organizations
• Governors and other state officials
• U.S. ambassadors and foreign diplomats 

And new to the 2015–2016 edition, researchers will find the following information that was not included in previous editions:

• More than 150 additional federal and nongovernmental organizations
• Contacts for nearly 200 House and Senate caucuses

Washington Information Directory 2015–2016 provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available, including most contacts’ direct phone numbers and email addresses, instead of just general agency contact information. It also includes reference boxes, organization charts, and other helpful extras. Because it can be used to locate groups and organizations or a U.S. representative or senator, find an official at a national or international organization, research internships and other opportunities to get involved in local or national politics, and much more, this directory belongs on the reference shelves of all public and academic libraries.
