This law sets extra copies of the D.C. Code for Congress. On top of the usual quotas, each member of the Senate and House gets ten bound copies of the D.C. Code and its supplements, for their own use. The House and Senate Judiciary Committees get extra bound copies too, and every congressional committee gets one bound copy each.

This section adds to the distribution already required by section 210 of this title. In addition to those regular quotas, extra copies of the Code of Laws relating to the District of Columbia must be printed, published, and distributed — with tables, an index, and other reference material, suitably bound and with thumb inserts to help readers find each part. The same goes for the supplements to both codes covered by sections 202 and 203. In the Congress where the original authorized publication is made, each member of the Senate and House gets ten copies of each, for their own use and to distribute. In addition, the House Judiciary Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee each get a number of bound copies equal to ten times the number of members on that committee. And every other committee of the Senate and House gets one bound copy of each for its own use.
