Searchable Text: These PDF files are so-called "smart PDF," meaning that you can open them in Adobe Acrobat Reader and search for a word or short phrase.

Reporting Errors: The initial version of this Compilation contains occasional typographical errors, but the text is believed to be accurate. Please assist in improving the next version (anticipated to occur after the next major amendment of these laws in 2007) by faxing error descriptions to: 202 366-7153. The best method to report errors is to fax us a "snapshot" of the incorrect page of the compilation, with the corrections marked on its face.

Future Amendments: Until this Compilation is updated, you can access a handy, up-to-date listing of all recent amendments to current law, sorted by US Code title and section number. These classification tables are maintained by the Office of Law Revision Counsel, and they are quickly updated following new enactments. The text of recently enacted laws may be found through the Library of Congress Thomas web site.
