This directory is a publication of the Federal Forecasters Conference. The conference, a collaborative effort of forecasters from federal agencies in the U.S. government, provides a forum for sharing information on forecasting issues. One of the conference's objectives is to build a core network of forecasters whose cooperation furthers the use of forecasting as an important tool in the 21st century. The current directory lists forecasters from both federal agencies and the private sector as of October 1, 1998.
