Due to the inability to keep the state law sections up-to-date, I am
removing them from FedLaw, which will now concentrate on the Federal level

AN APOLOGY - I just discovered that the White House has changed
the URLs for all of the Executive Orders they had previously posted on the
Internet without leaving a forwarding link. Consequently, hundreds of links
in FedLaw no longer work. Executive Orders from sources other than the White
House still work. I will correct this problem as soon as I can.
