document room, one hundred copies; to the superintendent of documents, ten copies. (28 Stat. 609. 33 Stat. 611.)

The amendment of this section by Act Jan. 20, 1905, c. 50, § 2, cited above, consisted of changes in the number of copies to be printed and in the distribution of bills and resolutions.

This section superseded R. S. § 3791, which provided for the printing of 750 copies of every bill or joint resolution, unless otherwise ordered.

The Public Printer was required to distribute to the Library of Congress five copies of all bills and resolutions, by Res. March 2, 1901, No. 16, § 2, post, § 7027.

The printing, instead of engrossing, of bills and joint resolutions, was provided for by Act March 2, 1895, c. 177, § 1, ante, § 12.

Postal conventions and treaties were to be distributed as private laws by a provision of section 56 of this act, post, § 7029.

(31 Stat. 1464.)

This section and the two sections next following were a joint resolution "to regulate the distribution of public documents for the Library of Congress for its own use and for international exchange."

The existing provisions for distribution of publications to the Library of Congress, referred to in this section, were made by the Printing and Binding Act of 1895, §§ 54-58, 73, 83, and subsequent acts set forth or referred to ante, §§ 7022-7025, and post, §§ 7029-7031, 7053-7095, 7156.

§ 7027. (Res. March 2, 1901, No. 16, § 2.) Additional copies.

That in addition to the foregoing the Public Printer shall supply to the Library of Congress for its own use two copies of each of the above-described publications, unbound, as published; five copies of all bills and resolutions; ten copies of the daily Congressional Record; and two copies of all documents printed for the use of Congressional committees not of a confidential character. (31 Stat. 1464.)
