The United States Statutes at Large, typically referred to as the Statutes at Large, is the permanent collection of all laws and resolutions enacted during each session of Congress. GPO Access contains the statutes enacted in the 108th Congress, first session, Volume 117, with future volumes to be added as they become available. Documents are available as ASCII text and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Every public and private law passed by Congress is published in the Statutes at Large in order of the date it was enacted into law. The laws are arranged by Public Law number and are cited by volume and page number. Also included in the United States Statutes at Large are concurrent resolutions, proclamations by the President, proposed and ratified amendments to the Constitution, and reorganization plans. Until 1948, treaties and international agreements approved by the Senate were also published in the Statutes at Large. This will be added to Legal Resources 2006 Internet MiniGuide.
