PUBLIC AFFAIRS SECTION
The Information Resource Center
The Information Resource Center at the American Embassy aims
to serve those who, in connection with their work, need information about the United
States Government's foreign and domestic policies; political and legislative developments;
defense and security matters; and social issues. Within these subject areas, the
Information Resource Center's experienced staff can help enquirers to develop detailed
and extensive information, or assist in identifying appropriate information sources
to contact in the U.S. In addition, a quick reference service is provided to cover
addresses, telephone and fax numbers of governmental or private organizations,
simple statistics, biographical information on prominent persons and other matters
of general interest.
The Information Resource Center also administers this website
on behalf of the American Embassy in London. If you wish to report errors in this
web site direct your email to weblond@state.gov.
There is at present no general embassy email address; nor is there an email address
for visa enquiries.
Please note: the Information Resource Center does not provide
information about the United Kingdom. Non-U.K. residents should contact the British
Embassy in their country for such information. Answers to many frequently asked
questions about the U.K. can be found at the web page of the British Information Services in
New York.
