Each is a pretty hefty paperback. Title 28 is pages 1487-2174, and Title

They include more than we generally see in USCCAN legislative histories.

instance:
Act June 25, 1948 (i.e., text of law) .....1487
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
Senate Report No. 1559 ............1675

House Judiciary Committee..........1940

Tables.....................................2041
("Showing distribution in revised Title 28 of sections of the
United States Code, the Canal Zone Code, the District of Columbia Code
and the Judicial Code of 1911, and of Acts by popular name")
(The volume for Title 18 also includes excerpts of the hearings and
Congressional Record debate, as well as House and Senate reports.)
We have two copies of each volume. If you would like to borrow
one of them, please contact our interlibrary loan technician, Laurie
Blakley, lauriean@u.washington.edu.
If they are hard to come by, maybe Hein should consider making
microfiche copies of them.
