                 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.

                      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''.
