CODIFICATION
R.S. § 210 derived from acts Mar. 9, 1868, ch. 22, § 1, 15
Stat. 40; June 8, 1872, ch. 335, § 20, 17 Stat. 287.
Section was formerly classified to section 165 of Title
5 prior to the general revision and enactment of Title
5, Government Organization and Employees, by Pub. L.
89–554, § 1, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 378.
Provisions of R.S. § 210, act June 20, 1874, and 1950
Reorg. Plan No. 20, cited as credits to this section, in-
sofar as related to duty of Administrator of General
Services to furnish to Public Printer a correct copy of
every Act and joint resolution, as soon as possible after
its approval by President, or after it has become a law
in accordance with the Constitution without such ap-
proval, were classified to section 191a of former Title
44, Public Printing and Documents, prior to repeal and
reenactment as section 710 of Title 44 by Pub. L. 90–620,
which enacted Title 44. Section 2(a) of Pub. L. 90–620
provided that the legislative purpose in enacting Title
44 was to restate without substantive change the laws
replaced by revised Title 44. Because revised section 710
of Title 44 did not restate those provisions of R.S. § 210
and act June 20, 1874, which appear in this section, this
section is not considered as having been repealed by
section 3 of Pub. L. 90–620.
