handle is hein.usccsset/usconset32776 and id is 1 raw text is: PREFACE This, the fourth volume of the Document Catalogue (Comprehensive Index), includes all documents and reports submitted to Congress March 4, 1897, to March 4, 189), without regard to the time when they were printed; and in addition thereto, all publications of the Executive Departments, bureaus, and offices of the Government, issued during the two fiscal years-July 1, 1897, to June 30, 1899. This departure from the rule requiring the Document Catalogue to be printed each regular session of Congress was approved by the Public Printer, and was due to the fact that all the matter for the three sessions of Congress being in hand when the same was ready for the printer it was deemed best to include the whole in one volume. By thus placing the entries of the three sessions in one alphabet, it is believed that this volume will prove more useful and convenient than any heretofore published. The same system of abbreviations as used in the preceding volume has been incorporated in entries for committee reports to accompany the several numbered series of bills and resolutions. These abbreviations are as follows: S. and H. for Senate and House bills; S. R. and H. R. for Senate and House simple resolutions; S. J. R. and H. J. R. for Senate and House joint resolutions; and S. C. R. and H. C. R. for Senate and House concurrent resolutions. At the end of this volume, as in previous numbers, will be found, arranged in a single alphabet, a list of Government authors consisting of those Departments, bureaus, and offices of the United States Government which are represented by entries in this number of the Document Catalogue. In addition to this, the same material is arranged in another list by Executive Departments, independent offices, etc., with alphabetical lists of subordinate bureaus and offices under each. In these arrangements will be found also alphabetical lists of the Senate and House Commit- tees that submitted reports during this Congress. It has been customary in the Document Catalogues to include in the same cata- logue, entries for a certain volume and for all separates therefrom, no matter if the separates and the volume of which they form parts were published in periods that are covered by different catalogues. This treatment is adopted in order to avoid, when possible, entering the same matter in two catalogues. For the benefit of readers who may not have at hand the previous volumes of the Document Catalogue, the following statements are made relative to the style of expressing titles of documents or reports. When a document has a title-page or a distinctive heading, the wording of the catalogue entry follows exactly the order of words contained therein. Words are omitted without indicating the omission in any way; but if insertions are made, or the order of words altered, such changes are indi- cated by brackets. Committee reports have no titles, and for these reports the cata- logue entry follows a conventional wording incorporating the distinctive title of the bill or joint resolution on which the report is made. Simple and concurrent resolu- tions have no titles, therefore catalogue entries for reports on them are made up so 3
