Abstract
The IRS legal information retrieval program is still in its infancy. The results of its use so far indicate that the program is on a sound foundation. Consequently, the Office has great hopes for it. By eliminating a great deal of the duplication of effort among the attorneys it promises to result in certain economies to the Office. More important, it should assure a more consistent treatment of taxpayers through greater coordination than has ever been possible in the past. And most important, by providing more comprehensive and timely decision-making information the system should further the Offices constant goal of making the maximum contribution to the development of a sound tax law. In the words of Disraeli, "The more extensive a man's knowledge of what has been done, the greater will be his power of knowing what to do."
