lag in thomas.loc.gov

[David Farber <farber@central.cis.upenn.edu>]

I tried looking for the text of this bill in thomas.loc.gov.  No such luck.
I am surprised that considering the bill and the speed at
which the new Congress is acting on items, that it is not
there yet. Time to eliminate that lag!!
