para.122.29 messages and communications received following the sine die
adjournment
communication from the office of the law revision concede
The text of the communication from Edward F. Willett, Jr., Office of
the Law Revision Counsel, dated September 16, 1996, is as follows:
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC, September 16, 1996.
Hon. Newt Gingrich,
Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: This past April, I completed 26 years of
service with the House of Representatives, first as Assistant
Law Revision Counsel and later as Law Revision Counsel for
the Committee on the Judiciary and, since the establishment
of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel in 1975, as Law
Revision Counsel for the House of Representatives. Together
with prior executive branch service, my total service is
nearing 38 years. Accordingly, I have concluded it is time to
retire. I am most grateful for having had the privilege of
serving the House as Law Revision Counsel. With your approval
my termination as Law Revision Counsel will become effective
November 30, 1996.
Permit me to provide a brief overview of the Office of the
Law Revision Counsel. Functions of the Office include the
classification of new laws to the United States Code, the
preparation and publication of the Code, the preparation of
bills to enact titles of the Code into positive law and to
repeal obsolete and superseded statutes, and the provision of
advice and assistance to the Committee on the Judiciary in
carrying out its functions with respect and codification.
The Office functions with a staff of 18, all of whom have
been appointed without regard to political affiliation and
solely on the basis of fitness to perform the duties of the
position. All have expressed the desire for career service in
the Office. This has resulted in low turnover and in a highly
motivated, productive staff. My Deputy and the two Senior
Counsels have accumulated 60 years of service with the
Office. Accumulated service of the seven Assistant Counsels
totals 74 years and that of the seven support staff 69 years.
Methods and procedures for the preparation and publication
of the United States Code have been modernized. Working with
the Government Printing Office, the transition from hot metal
to electronic typesetting and composition for printing of the
Code was implemented commencing with the 1976 main edition. A
computer system was installed in the Office for use in
maintaining the code database and updating it to include
newly enacted laws. The system permits the text of new laws
to be extracted from the bills database and efficiently
incorporated into the Code database. Benefits resulting from
modernization include increased productivity, virtually
error-free text, timelier publication, and substantial
reduction in typesetting costs. Main editions of the code
were published for 1976, 1982, 1988, and 1994, and annual
cumulative Supplements were published for each of the
intervening years.
The Code database is also utilized for a computerized Code
Research and Retrieval system for the legislative branch and
for the annual production of the Code on CD-ROM. Response to
the availability of the Code on CD-ROM has been exceptional,
with thousands being purchased from the Superintendent of
Documents at a unit cost of about $35. Commencing in January
1995, the Code and the Code classifications of new laws have
been made available (utilizing the Code database) on the
House Internet Law Library and on the Government Printing
Office Internet access. Usage of the House Internet Law
Library to access the Code is increasing significantly each
month, with user totals for August in excess of 100,000. The
Internet Law Library has been the subject of numerous good
reviews and comments from both user groups and individual
users.
As a result of bills prepared by the Office and transmitted
to the Committee on the Judiciary, three titles of the Code
have been enacted into positive law without substantive
change and numerous obsolete and superseded laws repealed.
Assistance was provided to the Committee in connection with
the substantive revision and enactment into positive law of a
fourth title of the Code. Bills to enact three other titles
have been transmitted to the Committee and a bill relating to
another title is in preparation.
What has been accomplished could not have been done without
the assistance and expertise of an outstanding staff. I am
truly indebted to them. The Office has enjoyed a close
working relationship with the Committee on the Judiciary with
regard to its consideration of bills to enact titles of the
Code into positive law, for which I am most appreciative. I
also gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the support
offices of the House, particularly House Information
Resources and the Office of the Legislative Counsel, and of
the Government Printing Office.
Respectfully yours,
Edward F. Willett, Jr.

Re Letter of resignation, Texas Congressional District No. 2.
Dear Governor Bush: It has been my honor, and privilege, to
serve my constituents in Texas for almost 40 years; four in
the United States Navy; twelve in the Texas Legislature and
the remainder in the U.S. House of Representatives. I have
tried to give the very best I had to offer for my
constituents, the State of Texas and my Country. If there
were an opportunity to turn the clock back and start over, I
would follow the same course. At this point of anyone's
career, if he/she can look back and say, ``It was good.'',
the ultimate fulfillment has been achieved. I can truthfully
say, it was good.
The book has closed on the 104th Congress. With that
closure, I respectfully take my leave effective at the
expiration of October 8, 1996.
Thank you for your kind understanding of my resignation and
for the many courtesies you have extended to me.
Sincerely,

resigning from the House of Representatives effective at

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve with you in
the House of Representatives. We enacted reforms during the
104th Congress that has moved this country in the right
direction. I look forward to continuing to work with you to
balance the federal budget, reduce the size, scope, and
intrusiveness of the federal government, and restore the
American Dream.

Congress of the United States,
House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, November 25, 1996.
Gov. Bill Graves,
State Capitol, Topeka, KS.
Dear Governor Graves: For the past two years, it has been
my privilege to serve the people of Kansas' Second District
as their elected Representative in the U.S. Congress. It has
been an eventful tenure.
These are remarkable times, and public servants have a
tremendous opportunity and responsibility for making America
a better place.
There is much work to be done, and the people rightly
expect that we will begin it in earnest. Toward that end, I
am scheduled to be sworn in as a U.S. Senator for Kansas at
2:00 p.m. central time, Wednesday, November 27, 1996.
Accordingly, I am resigning my seat in the U.S. House of
Representatives effective at 12:00 p.m. central time,
Wednesday, November 27, 1996.
The work of renewing America is unfinished. I see cause for
great hope as I believe we are now clearly focused on those
very problems which most confound us. There has never been a
challenge which the American nation recognized clearly and
approached resolutely which we did not overcome. We have
cause for great Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Sam Brownback.
