Historic Codification of Title 4 of the U.S. Code Published by Congress
Washington D.C. – A significant milestone in the organization and accessibility of United States law was marked on June 9, 1942, with the publication of House Report 77-2222, concerning the “Codification of Title 4 of the United States Code.” This report, now made available through GovInfo.gov, represents a crucial step in consolidating and clarifying federal statutes.
The publication of this report signifies the culmination of efforts to meticulously review and organize a specific section of the United States Code. Title 4 of the U.S. Code primarily deals with “Flag and Seal, and the Titles, and the President.” Codification in this context refers to the process of systematically arranging existing laws into a coherent and logical structure, making them easier for lawmakers, legal professionals, and the public to understand and utilize.
According to the official record, the report was committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union and subsequently ordered to be printed. This procedural step indicates a thorough review and approval process within the House of Representatives before the codified version of Title 4 was officially released. The intention behind such codifications is to ensure that the laws are not only readily available but also presented in a clear, consistent, and authoritative manner.
The availability of this document on GovInfo.gov, the official repository of U.S. government publications, allows for widespread access to this important legislative work. As of September 5, 2025, at 4:15 PM, this historical document has been added to the Congressional Serial Set, a comprehensive collection of documents published by Congress throughout its history.
The codification of legal titles is a continuous and vital process that underpins the rule of law. By organizing and clarifying statutes, Congress ensures that the legal framework of the nation remains robust and understandable. The publication of H. Rept. 77-2222 serves as a testament to this ongoing commitment to legislative clarity and public access to federal law.
