J) CONGRESS IN THE WAR STATUS OF LEGISLATION GIVEN NUMERICALLY AND BY SUBJECTS Sixty-fifth Congress - - - - First Session COMPILED BY / W. RAY LOOMIS Assistant Superintendent, Document Room House of Representatives By Transfer SEPTEMBER 26, 1917 Q£Q Q 1917 WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1917 , AS 19 1^0 INTRODUCTORY. This pamphlet is issued by the document room of the House of Representatives to meet an apparent demand among Members of Congress for a concise resume of the activities of the two legislative bodies in respect to war measures. In order to make the compilation complete, bills and resolutions not considered as war measures are included in the references. Part I gives the status of all war legislation by subjects, at the conclusion of which will be found another subject list dealing in mis- cellaneous legislation. The status of each bill is given at the time the pamphlet goes to press. At the conclusion of the present session of Congress a corrected edition will be issued. Attention is also called to the list of laws of the Sixty-fourth Con- gress having a direct or indirect bearing on the international situa- tion as well as a complete list of all laws of the Sixty-fifth Congress to date. Part II consists of a numerical index. Heretofore Members had no authentic means of ascertaining the outcome of various bills intro- duced, in statistical printed form, except in the bound Congressional Record. As the aforenamed publication will not be available for distribution for several months, it is believed this pamphlet will be found a valuable reference. Attempt is only made to specify the last action on each public bill. Private bills are not listed. 3 PART I. STATUS OF WAR LEGISLATION (BY SUBJECTS). (A) Agriculture: Fertilizers, importation of.

House bills, House joint resolutions, Senate bills, and Senate joint resolutions are listed separately. Under each of these four headings the bills and resolutions are given numerically. When the number of a public bill or resolution is not to be found it will thereupon be evident that the bill for which information is sought never got further than the committee. Private bills and resolutions are listed only when said bills are enacted into laws, the number of the law being indicated in each case. Examples are herewith given, so the searcher will have a thorough understanding of the compilation : If looking for H. E. 1655, a star will be found in the first column to the right. As indicated at the head of the column, H. E. 1655 was reported out of committee, but had no further action. If looking for H. E. 5271, a star will be found in the second column to the right. As indicated at the head of the column, H. E. 5271 passed the House, but had no further action. If looking for H. E, 2316, the star under the column headed " Eeported in the Senate," will indicate this was the last action and that the bill did not pass the Senate. The law number of each bill approved by the President is given in the next to the last column. The alphabetical references in the last column is a new departure in compilation. An example of its value is herewith given. A con- stituent writers to his Member asking for support of H. E 328. The Member refers to 328 in the numerical index and sees at a glance that the bill has become a law. Then in the last column opposite 328 will be found the letter " K." Turn to the subject index in Part I, and under the heading " K " will be found the title of the bill and full history. REFERENCE TABLE. (1) S. 1006 substituted. (2) Included in H. E. 291.
