I also designate the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23, 1957, as Constitution Week; and I urge the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities in their schools and churches and in other suitable places, so that they may give solemn and grateful expressions of appreciation for that eventful week in September 1787 when our Constitution was signed, delivered to the Continental Congress, and made known to the people.

Tables of Prior Laws and Other Federal Instruments Referred to in Text

The following tables are designed to serve as a guide to prior laws and other Federal instruments which are patently amended, repealed, referred to, or otherwise cited by the textual provisions of the public laws and Reorganization Plans contained in Volume 71. Beginning with this volume of the United States Statutes at Large, these tables are published as an integral part of each volume. They were initiated as a separate pamphlet accompanying Volume 70, covering the enactments of the 84th Congress, second session.

From time to time the tables will be cumulated and made separately available as a convenience to users. Coverage and arrangement are subject to change with a view to improved usefulness.

The arrangement of the tables is outlined above. There are two basic groups: (1) Tables 1-10 cover amendments, repeals, and other actions directly affecting prior laws and other Federal instruments; and (2) Tables 11-19 cover all citations and other references to prior laws and other Federal instruments.

Details of Arrangement.

Tables 1-9 are limited to cases in which prior laws and other Federal instruments are expressly affected.

Table 10 is a catch-all table designed as a finding aid to relationships which are expressed in general terms. Listed in this table are all public laws in Volume 71 which contain such provisions as "notwithstanding any other provision of law," and "all laws in conflict with this law are hereby repealed.

Tables 11-19 cover all cases in which prior laws or other Federal instruments are mentioned in the text of the public laws and reorganization plan in Volume 71, without regard to the purpose underlying such reference. Hence there is some coincidental duplication of items carried in the first group of tables.

In each of the basic groups the first and largest table is entitled "General Legislation," and contains listings of all laws affected which have not been codified in the Revised Statutes, the Internal Revenue Codes, or in those titles of the United States Code which have been enacted into positive law. Succeeding tables cover these codified provisions, as well as other instruments such as Reorganization Plans, Veterans' Regulations, Executive Orders and Proclamations, and Treaties and International Agreements. The numbering of the tables in the two groups is parallel. Thus Table 2 and Table 12 both relate to the Revised Statutes; Table 7 and Table 17 both relate to Veterans' Regulations.

Table 1 is arranged chronologically. In preparing this table the "basic act" principle has been followed. Under this principle the key listing of amendatory legislation will be found under the basic act affected, rather than under intervening amendments thereto. Furthermore, all laws included are treated as if tables covering prior volumes of the United States Statutes at Large were in existence. Thus, no attempt is made to give an historical picture of a law, and only the latest amendment in the chain will be reflected. Occasionally, in cases of extreme confusion, cross references have been supplied at key points.

Users of Table 1 should, therefore, look under the date or statutes volume and page number of the basic act affected, in order to determine whether changes have been made by the public laws contained in Volume 71. Although a given section of any act may have been added at a later date, the section is carried under the date and statutes citation of the basic act. For this reason the page numbers in the column headed "Statutes volume and page" are the numbers of the page on which each act begins.

All tables are arranged chronologically, except where the existence of a system of codification makes possible a sequential arrangement from the lowest to the highest title or section number. In Tables 1-10 there is a "Comment" column, in which the nature of the affecting action is described. These comments are intended to reflect what is patent in the laws reviewed, and every effort has been made to avoid interpretations.

În Tables 11-19 the "Comment" column is unnecessary, since in each instance the comment would be "Cited" or "Referred to." In these tables, moreover, the number of columns has been held to a minimum in the interest of brevity. Thus Table 11 contains only three columns listing the date and number of the law referred to, and the page number in Volume 71 at which the reference may be found.

Caveat.

All of the tables are editorially compiled and presented solely as guides to the Hence they have no evidentiary status or legal effect. They do not cover indirect or implied relationships which may be found through use of the subject index or through research based on the text itself.

The Federal Register Division invites criticisms or suggestions with a view to improving the tables wherever possible.
