I am a Foreign Service Officer at the State Department. I try to keep up with events in the countries where I was posted ( Haiti, Finland, Belgium, France, Morocco ) and issues I worked on, mostly economic and financial.
The State Department home page links to the Dosfan gopher at the University of Indiana carries State Department documents like speeches and texts of some agreements. The European Union (ex European Community) hosts a collection of online databases through ECHO, the European Commission Host Organization.
