CONTENTS
The Bill Text contains the full text of all versions of legislation
(bills and resolutions) of the U.S. House of Representatives for the
104th Congress. This database is produced by House Information Systems,
U.S. House of Representatives, from data provided by the Government
Printing Office. (note: The text of all House bills originate in the
U.S. House of Representatives.)

This database is updated whenever bills and/or resolutions are released
and received from GPO. Public Law numbers are not displayed in the
text of the documents.

SEARCHING
Information in Bill Text can be retrieved by a variety of methods
including subject, bill number, and report number. There are four
parts to each document:

VERSION - displays the status of the legislation at the time the
        document was printed. Examples: Introduced in the House;
        Reported in the House; Engrossed in the House (i.e. passed 
        the house); Enrolled (i.e. passed both Houses of Congress).

BILL    - displays the bill number. The bill codes are: H.R./House
        Bill; H.RES./House Resolution; H.J.RES./House Joint
        Resolution; H.CON.RES./House Concurrent Resolution.

TITLE   - displays the bill title, date introduced, and sponsor
        (except for the engrossed or enrolled versions).

TEXT    - displays the text of the bill or resolution.

Version, Bill, Title, and Text are defined as fields. Single
words can be entered as search terms (e.g., health). When building
search phrases (e.g., health care reform), you must use 'connectors'
to link the words together. The available connectors are ADJ, AND
(default connector), OR, and NOT. They must be entered in upper case.

Search examples:

        health
        health ADJ care ADJ reform
        health care reform            (AND is the default connector)
        bill = (h ADJ r ADJ 3450)
