Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Regional Rail Reorganization Act authorized a $250 million fund to pay workers whose compensation or working conditions were adversely affected by the reorganization of bankrupt railroads into Conrail. After more than 3 years, the program showed that costs would be far greater than originally expected. Estimates of the eventual cost ranged from $884 million to $1.7 billion, but none of the estimates could be relied upon as accurate predictions of the total cost. It was expected that the fund would be depleted in late 1979. However, the law required employers to continue paying eligible employees regardless of the state of the fund. One factor contributing to the high cost of maintaining the protection was the length of time employees were granted protection. Persons who were employed 5 or more years on the effective date of the Rail Act were protected until age 65, while other comparable federally funded employee protection plans limited coverage to 6 years. In addition, the Act did not provide for effective Federal management control and oversight of the program. The nine employers who paid protected employees had to interpret the law, prepare their own implementing procedures and instructions, and disburse Federal funds according to their own interpretations. Although GAO did not identify excessive errors, the program was believed to be too complex and to involve too much Federal money to allow it to continue without adequate Federal control and oversight. It was also believed that the provisions of the law made it difficult to manage properly and produced results not necessarily intended by the Congress.

Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
