[PW] Re: Laws Enacted by Congress

[Thomas Arendall-Salvetti]

Suzy Platt mentioned a report from the Congressional Research Service
that may help answer Paul Burnam's question.  Not all CRS reports are
freely available on the web, but this one is, thanks to OpenCRS, a
nonprofit clearinghouse for CRS reports:

Paul Burnam wanted the number of public laws enacted.

This has been answered, but you may also be interested to know that  
there is a Congressional Research Service report on this subject.    
It is no. 96-727, "Congressional Statistics: Bills Introduced and  
Laws Enacted,1947-2004," rev. January 13, 2005.  You can get a copy  
from your Representative or Senator.  This goes through the end of  
the 108th Congress, and I imagine that it will be updated after this  
Congress ends in early January 2007.  It's only 3 pages, but it's a  
very handy list.  I'm sorry it took me so long to reply, but I'm  
retired and only get in every once in a while.   --  Suzy Platt
