This manual has been compiled for the information and use of

those whose duties include the typesetting, proofreading, making up, and printing of bills of the Congress of the United

States. No revision of these pages, even in the smallest detail,

should be undertaken without the approval of the Style Board.

Credit should be given to the following employees of the

Government Printing Office for their assistance in the preparation of this manual: David M. Taylor, assistant foreman,

Proof Section (2) ; Lawrence Freedman, bill referee, Proof

Section (2) ; Joseph D. Mudd, assistant foreman in charge of

bills, Linotype Section (2) ; and Frank H. Goetzger, bill copy

preparer, Linotype Section (2).

IV
INSTRUCTIONS TO OPERATORS AND READERS

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 reported, engrossed, or enrolled print,

is a very serious offense. This manual can cover only in a broad manner the multiplicity of bill forms and style. There are congressional committees that insist their copy be

followed literally. For this reason copy from the House Committee on Appropriations must not be changed.

Tax bills from the House Committee on Ways and Means must also be

closely followed.

In general, follow specific markings made by committees even when they

do not conform to the Bill Style Manual.

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 endorsement 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 endorsement.

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 endorsement 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 endorsement, but must appear at the end of the bill as a 6-point-slugged paragraph,

full bill measure (30 picas), all roman, indented 4 ems, overs 2 ems, and

no side figures.
2 BILL STYLE MANUAL

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.

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." If 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 endorsement. After being

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

Senate, or, if a Senate bill, signed 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 endorsement. 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 nonconcurrence 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 10 point solid, 26%

picas, and the type is all roman except the enacting or resolving clause and the

provisos. Cut-in indentions are 2 ems. The title is set in 8 point and centered.

The bill 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 parchment 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. (See p. 47 for resolving clause amending

Constitution.)

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

Text of bills and resolutions are set in 14-point type and 12-point slugged.

Titles are also set in 14 point, centered in 30 picas, and 6-point slugged.

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, however" and so forth.

CAPITALIZATION

Unless otherwise prepared, 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. The word "the" used as part of an official name or title is capitalized.

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, 1955," "the 10th of January,"

and so forth ; also years standing alone, as "in 1954 and 1955."

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

title, article, page, paragraph, and line, unless roman numerals are indicated.

Use figures for sections, degrees, minutes, seconds, and feet in land

descriptions as follows: "70 degrees 00 minutes 12 seconds west 3,465.0 feet to monument 11, 125.25 acres, more or less." (See p. 128.)

But "one hundred twenty-five and twenty-five one-hundredths acres" standing alone.

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 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."
4 BILL STYLE MANUAL

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

centum ; except in bills to amend the Kevenue Act of 1954 the word "percent"

must be used.

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. CITATIONS

The following forms must be used for citations: (36 Stat. 68; 28 U. S. C.

361), (44 Stat. L. 35), (U. S. C, title 21, sec. 18).

SPELLED-OUT FORMS

Spell out everything except : Sums of money ; dates, including years standing alone ; Mr. and Mrs. ; the classification of vessels, as A 1 ; number and designation of bills and resolutions and law numbers; figures following such

related terms as volume, part, chapter, section; land description—sections,

degrees, minutes, seconds, and feet; 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," except

when followed by a fraction the following form is used : "one thousand seven hundred fifty and nine-tenths."

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."

Abbreviate section (sec.) in parentheses when part of legal citation. Spell

out section in all cases when referring to bill. The abbreviations here given should be spelled out as follows

:

n. o. p. f. : not otherwise provided for.

n. s. p. f. : not specially provided for. percent: per centum.

p. m. : postmeridian (time) ; principal meridian (land).

TITLES

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

copy.
GENERAL RULES 5

Titles of Senate and House concurrent and simple resolutions are printed on the endorsement, 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 (30 picas), 6-point slugged, the first line of each "Whereas" of the bill or resolution proper set flush, and the runovers indented 2 ems. Use a 12-point slug above flush lines and above and

below centerlines. When preambles appear within preambles treat them as paragraphs ; that is, the first line of each "Whereas" should be indented 4 ems

and the runovers 2 ems. When an agreement or treaty is part of a preamble

follow copy literally, indenting paragraphs 4 ems and runovers 2 ems. HEADS AND ENDORSEMENTS

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

reference when folded is called the "endorsement."

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

and endorsement 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 endorsement.

ACTIONS

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

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

through each printing until the bill or joint resolution passes one House. As n a bill or joint resolution progresses new actions appear, which should be set in the style provided for reported and referred bills and joint resolutions. Bill

exhibits have been indexed (pp. 33, 34) , wherever possible, according to actions.

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 endorsement, 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

When two or more actions take place on the same day, repeat the date on

both face and endorsement.

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

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

January 7 (legislative day, January 6), 1953

DUPLICATE NAMES

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

Particular attention must be given to the List of Duplicate Names of

Members of Congress.

GENERAL RULES 7

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

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. It is important that new bills be

rightly classified, and to this end proofs should be stamped "Public" or "Private"

before being read.

COMMITTEE PRINTS

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

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

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

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.

Black brackets should 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. (See p. 130.)

BILL REVISING

Compare the face of a bill with the endorsement.

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 this is a guide 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 because of errors or changes a black star (^) should be placed

at the foot of the first page. (See p. 48.) If a second reprint is necessary, use two stars. For information regarding jacket numbers and numbers of copies, see Dated Publications.

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.
s BILL STYLE MANUAL

MAKING UP

The first page of a long bill should not have more than 12 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.

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

endorsement must be placed on the same page. (See sample below.) This

rule does not apply to engrossed bills, the endorsement always being by itself on an even page.

[12 points]

TITLE II

[10 points]

Sec. 201. This title may be cited as the "Small Business Act of

1953".

Sec. 202. The essence of the American economic system of private

enterprise is free competition. Only through full and free competition can free markets, free entry into business, and opportunities for

the expression and growth of personal initiative and individual judgment be assured. The preservation and expansion of such competition

is basic not only to the economic well-being but to the security of this

Nation. Such security and well-being cannot be realized unless the

actual and potential capacity of small business is encouraged and

developed. It is the declared policy of the Congress that the Government should aid, counsel, assist, and protect insofar as is possible the

interests of small-business concerns in order to preserve free competitive enterprise, to insure that a fair proportion of the total purchases

and contracts for supplies and services for the Government be placed

with small-business enterprises, and to maintain and strengthen the

overall economy of the Nation.

Further, it is the declared policy of the Congress that the Government should aid and assist victims of floods or other catastrophes.

Sec. 203. For the purposes of this title, a small-business concern

shall be deemed to be one which is independently owned and operated

and which is not dominant in its field of operation. In addition to the

foregoing criteria the Administration, in making a detailed definition,

may use these criteria, among others : Number of employees and dollar

volume of business.

Sec. 204. (a) In order to carry out the policies of this title there

is hereby created an agency under the name "Small Business Administration" (herein referred to as the Administration), which Administration shall be under the general direction and supervision of the

President and shall not be affiliated with or be within any other agency

or department of the Federal Government. The principal office of the

Administration shall be located in the District of Columbia, but the

Administration may establish such branch offices in other places in the

REPORTED BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

CALENDAR NUMBER AND DEFINITIONS

See exhibits of Senate and House reported bills and resolutions. All

reported bills and resolutions do not have calendar numbers.

The Senate Calendar is entitled "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 endorsement, or back,

a-3
12 BILL STYLE MANUAL

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.

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. All

reported bills and resolutions do not have report numbers.

Reported bills that are recommitted are printed without the calendar

number and report number. ( See p. 109.

)

Reported bills that are objected to and recommitted are printed without

the calendar number. The report number is not deleted. (See p. 57.)

AMENDMENTS

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

the title." (See p. 14.) 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

two nine -seven two

feee/million five/hundred and forty/thousand sis/hundred

and ffity-&ve

the reported print should be

three million fi?e hundred and forty thousand sis hundred

an4 fifty five two million nine hundred and forty-seven thousand two hundred and fifty
GENERAL, RULES 13

Do not put part of a word in line type or italic. At times the copy will

indicate only a letter added to or taken from a word, or a number like "twentyfive" will be changed to "twenty" by striking out the "five." In such cases use line type for the whole word (a compound word being always treated as one word), and put the proposed word in italic. When sums of money are amended, use line type for the original dollar

mark and entire amount, and italic for the proposed dollar mark and entire

amount, even if only one figure is changed. The following shows the appear- ance of an amendment in copy and the method of using line type and italic for

the complete amendment in print:

14 BILL STYLE MANUAL

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 6-point-slugged paragraph, full measure, the first line

indented 4 ems and the runovers 2 ems, all roman, and no side figures.

Example

:

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

Oliver 0. Rice."

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 immediately fol- lowing the reported action and must remain in that position regardless of the

addition of future actions. 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 the 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 boldface 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 boldface type; matter which the minority propose to omit is enclosed in black 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.
GENERAL RULES 15

ENGROSSED BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

BILLS AND JOINT AND CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS

(See index to exhibits, pp. 33, 34) 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

endorsement 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 index to exhibits, pp. 33, 34) Engrossed simple resolutions should be full bill measure (30 picas) and

12-point slugged.

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

(See index to exhibits, pp. 33, 34) In engrossed amendments the matter in quotation marks, in black 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.

REFERRED BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

(See index to exhibits, pp. 33, 34) 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.
16 BILL STYLE MANUAL

ENROLLED BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS

(See index to exhibits, pp. 33, 34) A bill or resolution is enrolled when it has passed both Houses of Congress.

All enrolled bills, joint and concurrent resolutions are set in 10 point solid,

26i/£> picas, paragraphs indented 1 em. Titles are set in 8 point and centered,

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

Cut-in indentions are 2 ems. 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. Res. 1", or "H. J. Pes. 10"), in case 864b, at upper left-hand

corner. In the upper right-hand corner of enrolled House concurrent resolutions

insert the word "Passed" with the date, in case 864b.

In the upper right-hand corner of enrolled Senate concurrent resolutions

insert the words "Agreed to" with the date, in case 864b.
