TITLE 44--PUBLIC PRINTING AND DOCUMENTS
CHAPTER 7--CONGRESSIONAL PRINTING AND BINDING
Sec. 703. Printing extra copies
Orders for printing copies in addition to the ``usual number'',
otherwise than provided for by this section, shall be by simple,
concurrent, or joint resolution. Either House may print extra copies to
the amount of $1,200 by simple resolution; if the cost exceeds that sum,
the printing shall be ordered by concurrent resolution, unless the
resolution is self-appropriating, when it shall be by joint resolution.
Resolutions, when presented to either House, shall be referred to the
Committee on House Oversight of the House of Representatives or the
Committee on Rules and Administration of the Senate, who, in making
their report, shall give the probable cost of the proposed printing upon
the estimate of the Public Printer; and extra copies may not be printed
before the committee has reported. The printing of additional copies may
be performed upon orders of the Joint Committee on Printing within a
limit of $700 in cost in any one instance.
