TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
CHAPTER 38--DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Sec. 2660. Copies of treaties furnished to Public Printer
The Secretary of State shall furnish to the Public Printer a correct
copy of every treaty between the United States and any foreign
government as soon as possible after it has been duly ratified and has
been proclaimed by the President; and also of every postal convention
made between the United States Postal Service, by and with the advice
and consent of the President, on the part of the United States and
foreign countries, as soon as possible after copies of such conventions
have been transmitted to him by the United States Postal Service.
(R.S. Sec. 210; June 20, 1874, ch. 328, 18 Stat. 88; 1950 Reorg. Plan
No. 20, Sec. 1, eff. May 24, 1950, 15 F.R. 3178, 64 Stat. 1272; Pub. L.
91-375, Sec. 4(a), Aug. 12, 1970, 84 Stat. 773.)
Codification
R.S. Sec. 210 derived from acts Mar. 9, 1868, ch. 22, Sec. 1, 15
Stat. 40; June 8, 1872, ch. 335, Sec. 20, 17 Stat. 287.
Section was formerly classified to section 165 of Title 5 prior to
the general revision and enactment of Title 5, Government Organization
and Employees, by Pub. L. 89-554, Sec. 1, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 378.
Provisions of R.S. Sec. 210, act June 20, 1874, and 1950 Reorg. Plan
No. 20, cited as credits to this section, insofar as related to duty of
Administrator of General Services to furnish to Public Printer a correct
copy of every Act and joint resolution, as soon as possible after its
approval by President, or after it has become a law in accordance with
the Constitution without such approval, were classified to section 191a
of former Title 44, Public Printing and Documents, prior to repeal and
reenactment as section 710 of Title 44 by Pub. L. 90-620, which enacted
Title 44. Section 2(a) of Pub. L. 90-620 provided that the legislative
purpose in enacting Title 44 was to restate without substantive change
the laws replaced by revised Title 44. Because revised section 710 of
Title 44 did not restate those provisions of R.S. Sec. 210 and act June
20, 1874, which appear in this section, this section is not considered
as having been repealed by section 3 of Pub. L. 90-620.
Transfer of Functions
Reorg. Plan No. 20 of 1950, set out in the Appendix to Title 5,
Government Organization and Employees, transferred various functions of
Secretary of State to Administrator of General Services but excepted
from transfer the functions of Secretary of State with respect to
treaties and other international agreements under R.S. Sec. 210, as
amended (this section).
``United States Postal Service'' substituted in text for
``Postmaster General'' pursuant to section 4(a) of Pub. L. 91-375, set
out as a note under section 201 of Title 39, Postal Service, which
abolished office of Postmaster General of Post Office Department and
transferred its functions to United States Postal Service.
