TITLE 44--PUBLIC PRINTING AND DOCUMENTS
CHAPTER 7--CONGRESSIONAL PRINTING AND BINDING
Sec. 730. Distribution of documents to Members of Congress
When, in the division among Senators, and Representatives, of
documents printed for the use of Congress there is an apportionment to
each or either House in round numbers, the Public Printer may not
deliver the full number so accredited at the Senate Service Department
and House of Representatives Publications Distribution Service, but only
the largest multiple of the number constituting the full membership of
that House, including the Secretary and Sergeant at Arms of the Senate
and Clerk and Sergeant at Arms of the House, which is contained in the
round numbers thus accredited to that House, so that the number
delivered divides evenly and without remainder among the Members of the
House to which they are delivered; and the remainder of the documents
thus resulting shall be turned over to the Superintendent of Documents,
to be distributed by him, first, to public and school libraries for the
purpose of completing broken sets; second, to public and school
libraries that have not been supplied with any portions of the sets,
and, lastly, by sale to other persons; the libraries to be named to him
by Senators and Representatives; and in this distribution the
Superintendent of Documents, as far as practicable, shall make an equal
allowance to each Senator and Representative.
(Pub. L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1253; Pub. L. 104-186, title
II, Sec. 223(3), Aug. 20, 1996, 110 Stat. 1751.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on 44 U.S. Code, 1964 ed., Sec. 157 (Jan. 12, 1895, ch. 23,
Sec. 68, 28 Stat. 612; Apr. 6, 1904, ch. 862, 33 Stat. 159; July 2,
1954, ch. 455, title I, Sec. 101, 68 Stat. 397).
``House of Representatives Publications Distribution Service'' is
substituted for ``House Folding Room'' because of the change of name
under authority of Public Law 88-652.
Amendments
1996--Pub. L. 104-186 substituted ``and Sergeant at Arms'' for ``,
Sergeant at Arms, and Doorkeeper''.
