GovSpeak: A Guide to U.S. Government Acronyms and Abbreviations

http://ucsd.libguides.com/govspeak

.

.

"This guide lists acronyms and abbreviations commonly used by the United
States federal government. Each acronym is defined and links to the home
page (or best alternative) of the identified department, agency, office,
program or publication.

While Appendix A of the U.S. Government Manual provided the foundation of
GovSpeak, this expanded list includes hundreds of acronyms not included in
that publication; most have been discovered by manual reviews of
department websites. Links are checked and updated monthly.

Please note: as of June 2011, GovSpeak no longer includes military
acronyms. Please see instead the DoD Dictionary of Military Terms."
