The
Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents is the official publication of
presidential statements, messages, remarks and other materials. This
publication is printed every Monday and contains documents such as Executive
Orders (see
Executive
Orders law tip), Proclamations, Bill Signings, Interviews With the News
Media and Meetings With Foreign Leaders.
GPO Access contains Compilations from 1993 (v. 29) - present that
are searchable from 1993 forward and browseable from 2001 forward. Westlaw
(WCPD) contains the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents beginning with
January 1995. The Wirtz Labor Law Library also receives the print version of
the Compilations going back to 1966.
Some of these presidential documents such as Executive Orders and
Proclamations are required to be published in the Federal Register. Therefore,
documents of this nature can also be found in the Federal Register and in
"Title 3 -- The President" of the Code of Federal Regulations. The
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) on GPO Access contains Title 3 from
1997 - present and the Wirtz Labor Library has Title 3 back to 1936.
Another source of the Weekly
Compilation of Presidential Documents is Hein Online's Federal Register Library, which
provides access to documents in PDF format. The Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents
covers 1965 (vol. 1) - 2005 (vol. 41). A past tip,
Hein Online,
provides information about additional resources offered by the vendor. DOL employees can also contact the
Law Library
for access to Hein Online.
