About the Bill Text Feature | Bill Text Search Help | Navigating the Bill Text Search Results | Downloading Bill Text | XML Display
Since February of 2004, Congress has been making some new bills (introduced versions of House bills and House resolutions) available for display in XML format. This format is similar to PDF but without line and page numbers. It also has additional features for viewing and organizing content, such as links from a Table of Contents (if present) to the given section of the bill and links to the U.S. Code.
Netscape 7 (or higher) or Internet Explorer 6 (or higher) is required to view XML displays in Windows operating systems. For Macintosh, Internet Explorer 5 (or higher) is required. Older browser versions will not display XML.
