Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That, after the termination of the present session of Congress, it shall be the duty of the secretary of the Senate and clerk of the House of Representatives, so to regulate and direct the printing of the respective Houses as to abolish the practice of making "title pages" to executive documents, reports of committees, memorials, or any other documents, unless the same shall be so directed by them, and that the whole matter shall follow in close order, from the first page. And they shall further direct, that the printing of the yeas and nays of the journal shall be in consecutive order, as ordinary matter. They shall also so regulate the printing of the executive documents, as to have the respective communications from the President and heads of Departments bound in distinct volumes; and they may also so change the form of the volume, by increasing its size, as to combine the greatest quantity of matter with the greatest economy in the execution of the work.
