Documents and reports may be furnished to foreign legations in the United States when the Secretary of State requests them from the Director of the Government Publishing Office and identifies the documents and reports wanted. They may be distributed free only to legations whose governments provide the United States legations with copies of the printed and legislative documents they want.

Documents and reports may be furnished to "foreign legations to the United States" when two things happen: the request identifies the documents and reports wanted, and the Secretary of State makes a requisition to the Director of the Government Publishing Office. Free distribution may be made only to legations whose governments provide legations from the United States with copies of the "printed and legislative documents" they want. This section does not define "foreign legations to the United States," "requisition," "gratuitous distribution," or "printed and legislative documents."
