Subject: Re: Official Summary of Security Transactions and Holdings

A month or so ago I posted a question regarding the availability
of the "Official Summary of Security Transactions and Holdings"
in electronic format.  The problem, as I stated then, was the
massive amount of space and low usage of this item.  I received
a number of requests from people who asked me to pass along any
info I received on this matter.  Well, do to my usual lousy
way of filing away people's names and addresses, I do not have
them now.  So, the most convenient way to get this information
out is to post it to the list.  Hope this helps

Dear Mr. Taylor:

I am responding to your request for information about an
electronic version of the "Official Summary of Security
Transactions and Holdings" published by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.

We have in our holdings in the Records of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (Record Group 266) the Ownership Reporting
System (ORS).  These data files contain records about security
transactions and holdings by people with "insider relationships"
or beneficial ownership, primarily officers, directors, and
principle stockholders.  ORS data come from three forms: SEC Form
3, SEC Form 4, and SEC Form 5.  Form 5 was added to ORS in April
1991.  ORS data have four formats covering different time spans:

1)ORS-New Monthly, April 11, 1991 - March 10, 1992: 11 separate
     monthly files.  Documentation is 25 pages ($6.25)
2)ORS-Cumulative, July 1986 - March 1991.  Documentation is 12
     pages ($3.00)
3)ORS-Monthly, August 1978 - January 1990:  separate monthly
     data files.  Documentation is 20 pages ($5.00).
4)ORS-Master, January 1975 - August 1987:  two data files.
     Documentation is 25 pages ($6.25).
     a. ORS-Master-History, January 1975 - April 1982
     b. ORS-Master-Current, January 1980 - August 1987

We currently make these files available either on 9-track
magnetic tape or 3480 tape cartridge.  We do not currently
provide for remote access to these data.  Please contact us at
the Center for Electronic Records (NSXA), ATTN: Reference
Services, National Archives, Washington, DC 20408 for further
information.  The telephone number is (202) 501-5579.

You may also wish to contact the records officer at the SEC.
Suzzane McHugh (SEC, 450 5th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549,
(202) 272-7210) may have information about private sector firms
who provide for remote access to these data files or transfer
them to CD-ROM for distribution.

Sincerely,

Ted Hull
