  Rise of Domestic Terrorism and Its Relation to United States Armed Forces
A growing concern among state and federal law enforcement officials, as well as among the general citizenry, is the revelation of the extent to which armed, right-wing, citizen militias occur in the United States and the recent upsurge in their numbers.

 TRANSCRIPT OF PRESS CONFERENCE BY SECRETARY-GENERAL KOFI ANNAN AT HEADQUARTERS, 12 OCTOBER, FOLLOWING AWARD TO ...

 Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Search Tips
Performing a search with a subject keyword may produce different results than consulting the subject index, because a search returns all documents that contain the literal search term as little as one time, whereas the subject index has been created to identify documents that are substantially concerned with a particular subject.
In this kind of situation, a traditional search may be more effective than use of the document categories list or a similar tool.
