Pardon me, but I wonder if someone could point me to long-term historical data (numbers with dates) for the Federal Funds Rate?

For example, www.federalreserve.gov/fomc/fundsrate.htm lists the Federal Funds Rate, but only from 1990-present. Also, Wikipedia has a chart at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_funds_rate#Historical_rates with rates graphed from 1954-2006, but no hard numbers with dates, plus it looks like the chart might be shifted by one year or more.
