INTRODUCTION

Accuracy is of first importance in the printing of bills. While errors

in first prints, or new bills, may be detected and corrected in committee or on

the floor when action is taken, they may escape notice until the later stages of

the bill are reached, thus making formal action by Congress necessary in order

to rectify errors. The Government Printing Office must not commit errors that

require congressional action for their correction. Every employee handling

bills is especially cautioned to watch for and prevent errors in printing. To

overlook an error in a bill, especially a imported, engrossed, or enrolled print,

is a very serious offense. The course of a bill from its introduction to its presentation to the

President for his approval or disapproval should be a matter of common

knowledge.

When a bill is introduced in either House there are numerous actions which

that body may take, such as laying it on the table, or debating, amending, and

passing it, but the usual order is to refer it to the appropriate committee.

When printed, whatever action is taken by the House or the Senate must

appear on both the face and indorsement of the bill, the information being

conveyed to this office by notations on the copy.

Additional prints of a bill after it has been referred must be exactly like

the original, except that the committee to which the bill is referred may have

prints showing proposed changes, but the words " committee print " must be

placed on the face and indorsement.

When the bill is reported to either House it is usually accompanied by a written report, and is then known as a reported bill. The committee may

report the bill favorably, with or without amendment; adversely; or the committee may be discharged from further consideration ; and then the body which

is considering the bill may take such action as it sees fit. Whatever action is taken must appear on the face and indorsement of the

reported print.

If amendments are made in the text they are indicated by line type and

italic, italic following line type when original matter is stricken out and new

matter inserted in lieu thereof.

When the title is amended it must not be changed on the face or indorsement, but must appear at the end of the bill as a half-slugged paragraph, full

bill measure, all roman, indented four ems, overs two ems, and no side figures.

The italic, or new matter, in a reported bill should be made to conform to

bill style, but the original matter is to be followed literally.

At the reported stage the bill is usually placed on the calendar, but is subject to a variety of actions, as further consideration may be indefinitely

postponed, the bill laid on the table, or considered by unanimous consent,

debated, amended, and passed. It should be understood that this is not a complete enumeration of the actions which may be taken.
2 BILL STYLE MANUAL

When the bill or joint resolution is finally passed by either House it is printed in engrossed form, all roman except the enacting or resolving clause

and the provisos, and the words "A Bill " changed to "An Act." In an amendment to the title has been agreed to, the engrossed print should have the title, as amended, in its regular position on the face and indorsement. After being

attested and signed by the Clerk of the House the bill is then messaged to the

Senate, or, if a Senate bill, by the Secretary of the Senate, and then messaged

to the House.

When received by the other body the bill is usually referred to the appropriate committee, but is again subject to various actions. It may be returned

to the other House, laid on the table, laid before the body, considered, and so forth.

When a bill is reported in the Senate it may not be accompanied by a written report, but the copy will show by a notation that the committee reports

it favorably or unfavorably, with or without amendment. The action indicated

will be printed on the face and indorsement. It may be indefinitely postponed,

laid on the table, or considered by unanimous consent, debated, amended, and

passed.

Should the Senate amend a House bill it would then be returned to the

House for concurrence, but usually the House votes to nonconcur and consents

to or asks for a conference. The same is true of a Senate bill amended by

the House.

Follow copy literally on engrossed and enrolled bills. The right to make

changes belongs to Congress only.

When enrolled, the bill takes a new form. It is set in document measure,

with 6-point slugs between the lines, and the type is all roman except the

enacting or resolving clause and the provisos. It is signed by the Speaker

of the House and the Presiding Officer of the Senate and is then ready for

the approval or disapproval of the President. One copy is printed on special

paper (No. 36) for preservation.

Joint resolutions are treated identically as bills, except that a resolving

instead of an enacting clause is used, and the title of " joint resolution " is retained throughout its entire course. A concurrent resolution follows the same line of action, except that it does

not require the signature of the President.

A simple resolution is the lowest form of legislation by either House. The

copy will show whatever action is taken.

On the following pages will be found set forms for actions and exhibits

of the different stages and forms of bills; joint, concurrent, and simple reso- lutions; conference agreements; and amendments. New situations are constantly arising, and great care must be exercised not only in the text but in

the form of actions.
GENERAL RULES

NEW BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

The following rules are to be followed in printing new bills, resolutions,

and so forth. The utmost care should be taken to print them correctly, as reprints on account of errors are a source of embarrassment to this office and

cause great annoyance to Members of Congress.

TYPE

Bills and resolutions are set in 14-point type on a 26-point slug, which is equivalent to 12-points between the lines. A new bill or resolution is always all roman, italic being used only for the

enacting or resolving clause and the words "Provided" "Provided further,"

"Provided, hoioever," and so forth. CAPITALIZATION

Document style is to be followed in capitalization, except in the following

cases

:

Capitalize the word "Act " whenever it appears as a synonym for a " bill " or " law " of the Congress of the United States. The word "Act " should

also be substituted for " bill " or " law " when used in the text. It should be in

lower case when referring to an " act " of any other legislative body.

Capitalize the names of proposed departments, bureaus, commissions,

courts, official titles, and so forth, which would be capitalized if actually

existing.

USE OF FIGURES

Use figures for clock time, as 10 o'clock antemeridian; 11.15 o'clock

postmeridian.

Use figures in expressing sums of money, the word " cents " being

supplied when only a fractional part of a dollar is mentioned.

Use figures for dates, as " January 10, 1922 ", " the 10th of January ", and so forth ; also years standing alone, as " In 1922 and 1923."

Use figures with such correlated terms as volume, part, chapter, section

(including land descriptions), title, article, page, paragraph, and line, unless roman numerals are indicated.

Use figures following the word " numbered ", or when it is implied, as House Report Numbered 10, or House Report 10; Logan Post Numbered 49, or Logan Post 49; lot numbered 8, or lot 8; certificate numbered 01246. or

certificate 01246, and so forth.

Follow copy as to ordinal numbers, as 1, 2, 3; (1), (2), (3); or first, second, third.

When copy reads " No. 10 column ", " No. 27 Post ", and so forth, use the

following forms : " Number 10 column ", " Number 27 Post ", and so forth, not

" numbered."

Use figures for percentages, as follows: 10 per centum, one half of 1 per

centum.

Use figures for bill, resolution, law, and amendment numbers.

References in text to the Revised Statutes, the Statutes at Large, court

reports, and so forth, are expressed thus: Revised Statutes, title 13, chapter 4. page 1742; Twelfth Statutes at Large, page 1116: Tenth Court of Claims,

page 10.

related terms as volume, part, chapter, section (including land descriptions),

title, article, page, paragraph, and line. Use roman numerals for rules of the

Senate and House, as Rule XIII, and in other cases when so indicated.

Spell all enumerations, other than serial numbers, by thousands and

hundreds, as 1,750 should read " one thousand seven hundred and fifty."

Serial numbers spell by hundreds when less than 10000, as 2742 should

read " twenty-seven hundred and forty-two." When even thousands appear, use the word " thousand."

When the expression " No." appears, use the word " numbered ", as " township numbered 16 " ; such expressions as " No. 16 township " should read

" Number 16 township." Observe, in this connection, the capitalization for

kindred expressions, as " House Document Numbered 126."

TITLES

Titles of all bills and joint resolutions must be taken from the face of the

copy.
GENEEAL RULES 5

Titles of Senate and House concurrent and simple resolutions are printed on the indorsement, but not on the face. If title is not shown on copy, one must be supplied by the office.PREAMBLES

Preambles should be full bill measure, half slugged, the first line of each

k

' Whereas" of the bill or resolution proper set flush, and the run-overs indented

2 ems. Use a full slug above flush lines and above and below center lines. When preambles appear within preambles, treat them as paragraphs; that is, the first line of each "Whereas" should be indented 4 ems and the run-overs

2 ems. When an agreement or treaty is part of a preamble, follow copy

literally, indenting paragraphs 4 ems and run-overs 2 ems. HEADS AND INDORSEMENTS

The form printed on the back of a bill or resolution for convenience of

reference when folded is called the " indorsement."

The head and indorsement must always agree in every particular. It is therefore necessary that operators, compositors, and readers compare the head

and indorsement of each bill and joint resolution to be sure that they coincide

throughout.

The rules in regard to capitalization, figures, and so forth, apply to both the face and indorsement.

ACTIONS

The date on which a bill or joint resolution is introduced, with the name

of the introducer and the reference, is called the " action ", which is carried

through each printing until the bill or joint resolution passes one House. As

a bill or joint resolution progresses new actions appear, which should be set in the st}de provided for reported and referred bills and joint resolutions.

The action on a new bill or joint resolution should read " introduced." On

a new bill or joint resolution reported from a committee the action should read

" reported." Likewise a new simple or concurrent resolution should read

" submitted " or " reported."

Actions are generally placed on the indorsement, or back, of the copy.

The notes, in pencil or by stamp, of the legislative and bill clerks should always

be followed, and any typewritten or other notes that may appear should be

ignored.

DATES

Use the date on copy ; but if none be given, use the current date. When two or more actions take place on the same day, repeat the date on

both face and indorsement.

If the legislative and calendar dates are different, put the legislative date

first and follow with the calendar date in parentheses, as follows

December 5 (calendar day, December 10), 1932

DUPLICATE NAMES AND TITLES OF COMMITTEES

Do not use a comma preceding the word " of " in duplicate names.

Parti cular attention must be given to the List of Duplicate Names and to the Titles of Senate and House Committees.

In many instances the titles of Senate and House committees are similar,

but there are a few variations, as. for example, the Committee on Post Offices

and Post Roads in the Senate and the Committee on the Post Office and Post

Roads in the House, the Committee on Public Lands and Surveys in the

Senate and the Committee on the Public Lands in the House.
6 BILL STYLE MANUAL

NUMBER AND DESIGNATION

The number of a new bill or resolution is stamped or written on the copy.

Bills and resolutions are designated as follows: Senate bills, " S. 25";

Senate joint resolutions, "S. J. Kes. 16"; Senate resolutions, " S. Kes. 74";

Senate concurrent resolutions, " S. Con. Kes. 2 " ; House bills, " H. K. 123 "

;

House joint resolutions, "H. J. Kes. 54"; House resolutions, " H. Ees. 40";

House concurrent resolutions, "H. Con. Kes. 20." When referred to, with

number, in title or text, the abbreviations will be followed, using parentheses

whenever possible, as "the bill of the Senate (S. 400) for the relief of";

"the bill (S. 400) for the relief of"; "the resolution of the House (H. Kes. 40) directing ", and so forth.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS—COPIES PRINTED

The number of copies of bills and resolutions is dependent upon

their character and form. A bill which is of general scope or for a public

interest is called a

" public" bill. One which is for the benefit of an individual or private interest is called a "private" bill. The number of copies of each

form varies from time to time, but maintains about the same ratio. At present

the congressional and departmental requirements are 1,077 copies of public

bills, joint resolutions, and amendments, with the exception of appropriation

bills which require only 1,052 copies, and only 200 copies of private bills when

introduced. The order for all omnibus bills is 914 copies, although they are private in their nature, being made up of individual bills for pensions, claims,

etc. The number of copies of private bills changes after the first print,

while public bills require the same number on all prints, except the

engrossed and enrolled forms. Exceptions are often made from the rule, as at present bills for the survey of rivers and harbors are printed as private

bills, although public in character. This is done because the interest in this class of legislation is limited, and a large saving in cost is accomplished. It is therefore important that bills be rightly classified, and to this end proofs

should be stamped " Public " or " Private " before being read. The responsibility for the change in the number of copies of private bills rests with the

bill and press rooms. There is no difference in number between a public and a private bill in the engrossed form, 21 being the number for bills and resolutions

and 31 for engrossed amendments; 8 copies are printed on all enrolled bills. The numbers here given are subject to change at any time.

COMMITTEE BILLS

There are various forms of committee bills, but probably those from the

House Committee on Appropriations are more distinctive than any other class. The following instructions apply to these appropriation bills

:

Do not use side figures, but set on a short bill slug.

Follow style for new bills as to capitalization, spelling out, etc. Both reprint and new copy should be all roman, except that underscored

matter should be in italic, as well as the enacting clause and provisos.

Heavy brackets to be used where brackets are indicated in copy.

In notes and matter which is not part of the bill follow document style

unless otherwise prepared or instructions given to the contrary.
GENERAL RULES 7

BILL REVISING

Compare the face of a bill with the indorsement.

Session logotypes must agree with the date of the latest action.

Public and private bills should not be imposed in the same form.

Stamp stone proof "Public" or "Private", as tins is guide as to the

number of copies to be printed.

A " public " bill requires the " public " number of copies in all its stages in both Houses, except when engrossed and enrolled.

On reprints a black star (^) and date should be placed at the foot of

the first page. If a second reprint is necessary, use two stars and date. For information regarding jacket numbers and numbers of copies, see Dated Publications.

When not to exceed seven lines of text runs over on an even page the

indorsement must be placed on the same page. This rule does not apply to engrossed bills, the indorsement always being by itself on an even page.

INDEXES

Indexes are printed to appropriation bills emanating from the House

Committee on Appropriations in all prints up to enrollment, except on the

engrossed print.

MAKING UP

The first page of a long bill should not have more than 15 lines of 14-point,

including the title. In other words, place the line "A Bill " slightly above the

center of page, though not over 2 or 3 slugs above.
8 BILL STYLE MANUAL

PRIVATE BILLS

PENSION BILLS

In titles of bills " Granting a pension " and " Granting an increase of pension " omit all military and other titles and the abbreviation " Mrs." except

when the abbreviation " Mrs." is followed by initials or the Christian name of

the applicant's husband. Also omit all matter following the name of the

applicant, except the words " senior ", " junior ", or " alias." The abbreviation

"Mrs." must also be omitted in the body of the bill, unless covered by the

exception noted.

BILLS FOR RELIEF

Follow style of pension bills for the abbreviation " Mrs." In titles omit the

addresses of individuals, omitting the matter corresponding to the words in

brackets, as " For the relief of Mary C. Dale, administratrix of the estate of

Antoine Janis, senior, deceased [, of Pine Ridge, South Dakota] "; follow copy

in the case of organizations, as " For the relief of the deacons of the Missionary

Ridge Baptist Church, of Franklin, Tennessee " ; and follow copy in the use of

military or other titles, as "For the relief of Captain W. W. Wright, United

States Army, retired ", but omit company or regimental data and addresses.

BILLS GRANTING HONORABLE DISCHARGE, CORRECTING MILITARY RECORD,

AND REMOVING CHARGE OF DESERTION

In titles follow copy in the use of military or other titles, but omit company

or regimental data and addresses.

PRIVATE BILLS IN GENERAL

Such terms as " late private of ", " late corporal of ", or " late sergeant of " should read "late of": but in the case of commissioned officers follow titles,

using the forms " late lieutenant colonel Sixteenth Regiment ", " captain Company A", " first lieutenant Company B ", and so forth. In naval pension bills

all grades below that of midshipman should read " late of the ", and so forth

;

including the grade of midshipman and above, follow style for commissioned

officers of the Army.

" Infantry Volunteers " should read " Volunteer Infantry " ; " Cavalry

Volunteers " should read " Volunteer Cavalry ", and so forth. The word

" Volunteer " is usually expressed as " Volunteer Infantry."

Supply the words "Regiment" and "Volunteer" whenever practicable, as " Seventh New York Infantry " should read " Seventh Regiment New York

Volunteer Infantry." Follow copy, however, in regard to the word " Volunteer " in the case of United States organizations, as " First Regiment United

States Infantry " or " First Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry."

Observe the following forms of capitalization and punctuation in connection with the names of churches and other organizations: First Baptist

Church of Suffolk; Saint George's Episcopal Church, of Fredericksburg; Fairfax Lodge, Numbered 43, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Culpeper,

and so forth.

PROPOSED SENATE AMENDMENTS

Proposed Senate amendments are printed in bill form, all roman. Use quads for the bill number until the bill is given a number, after which

the number should be inserted in both the head and indorsement, whether in

copy or not.
REPORTED BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

CALENDAR NUMBER AND DEFINITIONS

See exhibits of Senate and House reported bills and resolutions, pages

56 to 70. All reported bills and resolutions do not have calendar numbers.

The Senate calendars are entitled " Calendar " and " Table Calendar."

The House calendars are entitled " Union Calendar ", " House Calendar ", and " Private Calendar." When, on a reported bill or resolution, the calendar

line is not stamped on the copy, the letters " U C " on the indorsement, or back,

of the copy will indicate that the " Union Calendar " action is to be used,

"H C" the "House Calendar" action, and "P C" the "Private Calendar"

action. For actions, see pages 27 and 28. Union Calendar.—Bills raising revenue, general appropriation bills, and

bills of a public character, directly or indirectly appropriating money or property, are referred to this calendar. If a bill is reported without amendment, the action reads : " Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on

the state of the Union and ordered to be printed."

House Calendar.—Bills of a public character, not raising revenue nor

directly or indirectly appropriating money or property, are referred to this

calendar. If a bill is reported without amendment, the action reads:

" Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed."

Private Calendar.—Bills of a private character are referred to this

calendar. If a bill is reported without amendment, the action reads : " Committed to the Committee of the Whole House and ordered to be printed."

REPORT NUMBER

See exhibits of Senate and House reported bills and resolutions, pages 24

to 28. All reported bills and resolutions do not have report numbers.

AMENDMENTS

Line type and italic are used to show amendments, except in "Amending

the title." (See p. 11.) When it is proposed to strike out certain portions of a

bill or resolution that is amended, such portions will be set in line type, and

matter proposed to be inserted will be set in italic. When it is proposed to strike out and insert, the italic always follows the

line type.

When an entire bill or resolution is struck through and new matter

inserted, set the first line of the new portion flush, the same as if it immediately followed the enacting or resolving clause. DO NOT COMPLICATE AMENDMENTS

When one amendment can be made to cover the case, as in the complete

changing of a number, do not divide into two or more short amendments. For

instance, if copy appears

AMENDING THE TITLE

Do not use line type or italic to show amendments in the title of a bill or

joint resolution, but allow the original title to stand in its place and put the

proposed title with the introductory words "Amend the title so as to read : "

at the end of the text in a half-slugged paragraph, the first line indented 4 ems

and the run-overs 2 ems, all roman, and no side figures. Example:

Amend the title so as to read: "A bill for the relief of

Oliver C. Pace." . In case it is an Act or joint resolution that is being amended, use the words

'"An Act " or " Joint resolution " instead of the words "A bill." BRACKETED LINES USED IN AMENDED BILLS

The following bracketed lines are inserted by this office. This should be

done by the copy preparer, but operators, compositors, and readers are expected

to be on the alert to see that the lines are properly used.

[Amend the title],

Note.—The above line is used only when nothing but Uie title is amended.

[Insert the part printed in italic] [Omit the part struck through]

[Omit the part struck through and insert the part printed in italic]

[Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert the part printed in italic]

[Strike out all after the resolving clause and insert the part printed in italic]

[Strike out the preamble and all after the enacting (or resolving) clause and insert the part printed in italic] [Amendments agreed to are shown in brackets and line type and new matter agreed to in bold-face type]

[Matter printed in roman is retained from bill as originally introduced ; committee amendments are indicated in italic ; matter in stricken through type was omitted by committee ; new language proposed by minority is in bold-face type ; matter which the minority propose to omit is inclosed in heavy brackets]

WHAT CONSTITUTES ONE AMENDMENT

An amended title is one amendment.

Matter struck through and followed immediately by italic to take the place

of the matter struck through is one amendment.

An entire bill or resolution struck through and new matter inserted in

italic is one amendment.

ENGROSSED BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

BILLS AND JOINT AND CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS

(See Exhibits Nos. 41-51, pp. 71-81) Errors in engrossed and enrolled bills are inexcusable.

A bill or resolution is engrossed when it has passed one House. "A bill

then becomes "An Act." The terms " joint resolution " and " concurrent reso- lution " are not changed in the course of legislation.

Engrossed bills and resolutions are always all roman, except the enacting

or resolving clause and provisos, which are italic. The copy must be followed literally. This applies to the title on the

indorsement as well as to the text. The title, if amended, should appear on the engrossed print in its regular

position, as amended.

SIMPLE RESOLUTIONS

(See Exhibit No. 42, p. 72) Engrossed simple resolutions should be full bill measure and full slugged.

The text is all roman, with the resolving clause and provisos in italic. AMENDMENTS

(See Exhibits Nos. 44-46, pp. 74-76)

In engrossed amendments the matter in quotation marks, in heavy brackets,

and in italic must be followed literally. Observe especially the punctuation.

Do not use side figures, but indent 1 em on each side.

Style for amending the title

:

Amend the title so as to read : "An Act to modify the

one hundred and twenty-second and one hundred and

twenty-fourth articles of war and to repeal and so forth.

Style for requesting a conference:

Resolved, That the Senate request a conference with the

House of Representatives on the said bill and amendments.

Ordered, That Mr. Vandenberg, Mr. Reed, and Mr. King

be the conferees on the part of the Senate.

CONFERENCE AGREEMENTS

(See Exhibit No. 51, p. 81) Engrossed conference agreements are printed in a style somewhat similar

to engrossed amendments, but are to be full bill measure.

REFERRED BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

(See Exhibits Nos. 52-55, pp. 82-85) A referred bill or resolution is a bill or resolution which has passed one House, been printed in engrossed form, sent to the other House, and referred

to a committee.

Referred bills and resolutions must be followed literally, which includes

line for line and page for page. The copy must be kept clean. 12
ENROLLED BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

(Sec Exhibits Nos. 04, 05, pp. 95, 96) A bill or resolution is enrolled when it has passed both Houses of Congress.

Set in document measure, paragraphs indented 1 em, with 6-point slugs

between the lines. When center heads appear use 12-point slug above and

below.

Preambles to be flush and hang, as in new bills and resolutions.

Set entirely in roman type, except the enacting or resolving clause and

provisos, which should be in italic. The copy is to be followed literally.

Avoid division of words whenever possible and space evenly.

Place the bill or resolution number (using the form " S. 146 ", " H. R.

4864 ", " S. J. Kes. 1 » or " H. J. Res. 10 "), in case 223, at upper left-hand

corner. CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS

(See Exhibit No. 05, p. 90) Enrolled concurrent resolutions should be document measure with 6-point

slugs between the lines. The text is all roman, with the resolving clause and provisos in italic. 145028—32 2 13
