Office of the Law Revision Counsel,
U.S. House of Representatives — These are the people who are restating the
Statutes at Large (SAL) into the
United States
Code (USC), some of which have been re-enacted as statutes and some of
which have not, so it requires some research to determine which are statutes
and which are only "evidence" of the statutes. The USC is not to be confused
with the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR), or with various government forms and
instruction books, which are a product of the various executive branch
agencies, allegedly based on the statutes or codes, but sometimes extending and
deviating from them in significant ways. The application of provisions of the
CFR to any but government employees or contractors, or to visitors to
government facilities or users of government proprietary assets, is
unconstitutional exercise of the legislative power by the executive branch
agency. For more on this see the
Borlase
Guide.
