Background
The United States Code is the official compilation of the Federal statutes of a general and permanent nature[1]. By Federal statute[2], the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives is the publisher and compiler of the Code. The Counsel is an appointee of the Speaker of the House.
In 1977 – at the request of the Law Revision Counsel – the Office of the Law Revision Counsel, the Government Printing Office (GPO), and House Information Systems[3] began work on computerizing the production of the U.S. Code. This evolved into the Integrated Law Revision and Retrieval System[4], jointly developed by LRC, HIS, and GPO. The integrated system was developed to provide the Office of the Law Revision Counsel with direct control of the U.S. Code, to produce the U.S. Code in a more timely fashion, to produce an up-to-date U.S. Code research and retrieval system, and to produce cost savings in typesetting the U.S. Code system. Key elements of the integrated system included:
• A system of tags to format U.S. Code data[5]
• Hardware and software for editing and storing the U.S. Code master database[6]
• Software to typeset the tagged data[7]
• Software to allow full text search of the U.S. Code (meeting or exceeding industry standards for computer assisted legal research)[8]
• Software to (1) format tagged data into a style compatible with the input requirements of the search software, while (2) preserving as much of the typesetting functionality of the tags as possible.
In August of 1977, HIS released a pilot full-text searchable version of title 2 of the U.S. Code. HIS developed mainframe COBOL software to convert the data into a format usable by STAIRS – the mainframe-based search engine from IBM, that was already in use by HIS for the Bill Status System (later “LEGIS”). By September of 1978, the pilot expanded to include all 50 titles of the U.S. Code.
In the early 1980’s, HIS rewrote its software for converting the photocomposition coded data – using a table-driven architecture. The software (which resides on the HIR mainframe) was written primarily in COBOL with tabular data manipulation done through PL/1. In 1986, HIS developed mainframe software to convert the U.S. Code Classification Tables into a format compatible with STAIRS and to incorporate that data into the U.S. Code searchable database.[9] The full-text searchable U.S. Code was made available to House and Senate offices, the Library of Congress, the Congressional Budget Office, the General Accounting Office, the Supreme Court, and several executive branch offices, through communications links to the HIS/HIR mainframe.[10]
In 1991, HIS, at the request of the Law Revision Counsel, began work on producing a CD-ROM version of the U.S. Code for distribution to House offices, the legal community, and the public at large.[11] On January 4, 1995, HIS began making a full-text searchable version of the U.S. Code available to the public through the World Wide Web.[12] Both the CD-ROM and World Wide Web versions of the U.S. Code are accessible through search engines produced by Personal Library Software, Inc. (now part of America Online, Inc.). The conversion of the raw data from GPO photocomposition codes, however, is still processed primarily through software on the HIR mainframe.
Mainframe Migration, SGML, XML, HTML, and XHTML
In 1995, the Committee on House Oversight (now the Committee on House Administration) adopted a resolution directing that HIR prepare a plan for the retirement of the HIR mainframe[13]. As part of the implementation of the plan that was ultimately adopted, access to the STAIRS-based mainframe U.S. Code database was ended effective December 1, 1998[14]. Some of the software necessary to convert the Law Revision Counsel’s master U.S. Code database from GPO photocomposition code format into a format usable to update the U.S. Code web database and to create the annual U.S. Code CD-ROM, however, still resides on the HIR mainframe. The 2001-2005 Strategic Plan adopted by the Chief Administrative Officer of the House in May 2000, nonetheless, has as one of its objectives, completing mainframe migration by September 2001[15]. The Strategic Plan’s companion document, CAO Team Member Feedback: CAO 2001-2005 Draft Strategic Plan, states that “A key component of this objective is a formal certification that the migration solution meets the critical functions of the original application. . . . Mission critical mainframe services will be continued until alternatives are defined, funded and satisfactorily deployed.” It also provides that “Migration objectives include . . . Meet[ing] customer requirements for the application, connectivity, input/output, and user interfaces”.
In 1996, the Law Revision Counsel requested that HIR provide support for the “conversion of the U.S. Code master database from GPO photocomposition coding to SGML coding”.[16] SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) exists in many implementations – including
• Extensible Markup Language (XML),
• Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL),
• Hypermedia Time-based Structuring Language (HyTime),
• Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML),
• HyperText Markup Language (HTML), and
• Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML).
Of the SGML implementations, HTML is the implementation that is by far most widely identified with the World Wide Web. Virtually all web browsers are able to display HTML documents. HTML is stable, reasonably robust, and has a well-established infrastructure of authoring and maintenance tools. XML does not have the installed base of browsers or authoring and maintenance tools that HTML has, nor the stability that HTML now has[17], and is far more complex than HTML. XML, nonetheless, has widespread support in the technical community as the wave of the future for SGML coding. The Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate have recommended that “the House and Senate should adopt XML as a data standard to be employed for the exchange of legislative documents, allowing each body to determine appropriate document creation and editing environments”.[18] While the Legislative Branch XML Technical Committee[19], under the leadership of the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate, has several initiatives in development, it appears highly unlikely that an XML implementation of the U.S. Code—that would be usable by those who are currently using the U.S. Code web database—can be in place by the September 2001 target for mainframe migration.
Fortunately, the U.S. Code is not the only project that has had to face an HTML vs. XML choice. The World Wide Web Consortium (the World Wide Web’s principal standards developing body) is currently developing a specification for XHTML that will allow HTML and XML to coexist and share features that are currently only in one or the other. The current draft of that specification provides guidance as to how to code HTML in such a way that it is compatible with XML[20]. In developing the specifications for converting from GPO photocomposition coding to HTML coding, we have attempted to follow the XHTML standards.
In addition to not precluding use of XML, and to have the new U.S. Code database free of the HIR mainframe by September 2001, it is a goal of the conversion from GPO photocomposition codes to
• format the U.S. Code text so that it is close to the appearance of the Code in its traditional printed bound volumes[21]; and
• maximize accessibility to the U.S. Code.
To help reach these goals, whenever possible, we have only used the commands that are contained in HTML version 3.2. In those instances where additional capabilities have been necessary in order to approximate the appearance of the Code, we have used commands that were added in subsequent versions of HTML. In those few instances where even those features have been inadequate, we have used features from JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets. Within these constraints, the HTML tagging conforms to the revised Robot Exclusion Standard[22], the W3C PICS Specification[23], and conformance level A of the W3C Content Accessibility Guidelines[24].
Section 508 Requirements
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. § 794d) provides that Federal government information technology systems are to be available to individuals with disabilities on a basis comparable with access that is available to individuals without disabilities. The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board is to issue standards to carry out this mandate, which are to take effect six months after the Board’s standards have been issued. On December 21, 2000, the Board issued its final standards (36 C.F.R. Part 1194). The standards dealing specifically with web sites are contained in 36 C.F.R. § 1194.22. Section 1104.22 provides that:
(a) A text equivalent for every non-text element shall be provided (e.g., via "alt", "longdesc", or in element content).
(b) Equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be synchronized with the presentation.
(c) Web pages shall be designed so that all information conveyed with color is also available without color, for example from context or markup.
(d) Documents shall be organized so they are readable without requiring an associated style sheet.
(e) Redundant text links shall be provided for each active region of a server-side image map.
(f) Client-side image maps shall be provided instead of server-side image maps except where the regions cannot be defined with an available geometric shape.
(g) Row and column headers shall be identified for data tables.
(h) Markup shall be used to associate data cells and header cells for data tables that have two or more logical levels of row or column headers.
(i) Frames shall be titled with text that facilitates frame identification and navigation.
(j) Pages shall be designed to avoid causing the screen to flicker with a frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.
(k) A text-only page, with equivalent information or functionality, shall be provided to make a web site comply with the provisions of this part, when compliance cannot be accomplished in any other way. The content of the text-only page shall be updated whenever the primary page changes.
(l) When pages utilize scripting languages to display content, or to create interface elements, the information provided by the script shall be identified with functional text that can be read by assistive technology.
(m) When a web page requires that an applet, plug-in or other application be present on the client system to interpret page content, the page must provide a link to a plug-in or applet that complies with §1194.21(a) through (l).
(n) When electronic forms are designed to be completed on-line, the form shall allow people using assistive technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues.
(o) A method shall be provided that permits users to skip repetitive navigation links.
(p) When a timed response is required, the user shall be alerted and given sufficient time to indicate more time is required.
Civil actions are permitted against agencies that are not in compliance with the standards by June 21, 2001. The Rehabilitation Act applies to offices of the House of Representatives by virtue of § 102(a)(10) of the Congressional Accountability Act (2 U.S.C. § 1302(a)(10)).
These specifications are in compliance with the standards promulgated by the Board.
Nomenclature
As used in these specifications:
1) A diamond symbol (() indicates a blank space.
2) {Braced bold text} indicates the name of a variable.
3) {Braced bold text}with a subscript indicates an array with the subscript as the array’s index.
4) A bent left arrow (() indicates a carriage return/line feed character.
Special Characters
The U.S. Code data includes some characters that do not follow the standard ASCII definitions. These should be translated at the end of the photocomposition-to-HTML conversion process – in particular, after any G-code and T-code processing, if any.

Bell Codes
A bell (HEX 07) signals that a command is to be given. The character that immediately follows a bell indicates the type of command. As indicated below, some of these commands have arguments – these arguments come immediately after the character following the bell. For instance,
Bell-I80
is a bell-I with an argument of 80. Note that the bell commands are case sensitive.
Bell-a
A bell-a is followed by a three-digit numeric. When a bell-a occurs:
1) Store the number as {bell-a argument}.
2) Delete all of the text from the bell-a up to (but not including) the next bell.
3) Add to {error file}: {TITLE NUMBER} USC{appendix}{SECTION NUMBER}{long subsection} ({text field}) – warning – verify implementation of bell-a{bell-a argument}.
Bell-A
Delete the bell-A.[35]
Bell-c
The bell-c indicates the start of tabular data[36]. The bell-c is normally followed by a long string of qualifiers that define the characteristics of the table. This is then followed by additional codes associated with the actual data in the table. A bell-e marks the end of the table. Note that bell codes within a table (i.e., between a bell-c and a bell-e) may have different characteristics than the same bell codes outside of a table.
A. Arguments for bell-c (excluding column definitions)
(A.1) The bell-c is followed immediately by a number and a comma.
a) Store the number as the {number of columns in table}.
b) Set {footnote switch}, {column}, {absolute width indent}, and {table offset} to zero.
c) Set {HTML frame value} to: void
d) Set {bearoff}[37] to two.
e) Set {bearoff default} and {table switch} to: on
f) Add seven to {Leading}[38]
g) Set {Body HTML font size}, {Boxhead HTML font size}, {colspan}, {Footnote HTML font size}, {Grid}, {I95 HTML font size}, {I96 HTML font size}, {original grid}, {original typeface}, and {Typeface}, to one.
h) Set {alignment}, {previous stub locator}, {table leading}, {table row}, and {table width in points}, to zero.
i) Set {absolute width switch}, {block style}, {I25 switch}, {ns switch}, {row bottom leadering}, {stub indent limit switch}, {table-wide justification}, {top leadering switch}, and {tracing column switch} to: off
j) Set {HTML border value} to one.
k) (i) set {table width in pixels} to 480

ii) if {table width in pixels} is greater than 718, then set {centering table width} to the value of {table width in pixels} + 2
(a-1) if {absolute width indent} is greater than zero, then
i) multiply {absolute width indent} times 2.7 and round off to the nearest whole number
ii) add {absolute width indent} to {centering table width}
iii) if {absolute width switch} is “off”, then subtract {absolute width indent} from {table width in pixels}
(a-2) if {absolute width indent} is greater than zero, then
(i) multiply {table offset} times 2.7 and round off to the nearest whole number
(ii) add {table offset} to {centering table width}
iii) if {absolute width switch} is “off”, then subtract {table offset} from {table width in pixels}
b) (i) if {number of columns in table} is greater than one, then calculate (for each value of {column}, from one to {number of columns in table} - 1) the {column width in pixels}{column}[95] by using the following formula:
({column width in points}{column} / {table width in points}) ( {table width in pixels} = {column width in pixels}{column}
(ii) if {number of columns in table} is greater than one, then calculate {column width in pixels}{number of columns in table} by adding all of the values of {column width in pixels}1 through {column width in pixels}{number of columns in table} – 1 and then subtracting the total from the value of {table width in pixels}
(iii) if {number of columns in table} equals one,[96] then set {column width in pixels}1 to the value of {table width in pixels}.
(iv) for each value of {column}, where {vertical rule}{column} is “p”,
A) set {column width in pixels}{column} to the value of {gap between parallel lines} divided by four.
B) Round off {column width in pixels}{column} to the nearest whole number.
C) Add the value of {column width in pixels}{column} to {table width in pixels}.
D) If {table width in pixels} + 2 {centering table width}, then set {centering table width} to the value of {table width in pixels} + 2.
v) for each value of {column}, where {vertical rule}{column} is “b”,
A) increment {table width in pixels} by one.
B) If {table width in pixels} + 2 > {centering table width}, then set {centering table width} to the value of {table width in pixels} + 2
c) Multiply {leading} by 0.8. Round off {leading} to the nearest whole number. If {leading} is less than zero, then set {leading} to zero. For every occurrence of {leading}, insert in the {Leading file}:
d) (i) If {text field} is “STATUTE”, then output:
(ii) Set {frame} to: void
(iii) Set {border} to: 0
iv) If {bell-y} equals one, then
1) Set {frame} to: lhs
2) Set {Border} to: one
(v) output the following: {Leading file}
e) clear out the {Leading file}.
f) set {leading} to seven.
g) If {ns switch} is “on”, then set {leading} to zero.
C. Codes within a table
As noted in the introduction to Bell-c, bell codes within a table (i.e., between a bell-c and a bell-e) may have different characteristics than the same bell codes outside of a table. In the chart below, find the line associated with the bell code, and
1) execute the special processing instructions
2) replace the bell code with the HTML coding shown in the table in the “Precede text with” column;
3) insert the text that followed the bell-code, up to the next bell[97];
4) insert the HTML coding shown in the “Follow text with” column;
5) If the bell-code is a bell-h or bell-I, then store the {FOTP} value
|Bell codes within bell-c table | | | |
