Thanx for the reply, Steve. Easy to say now, but I assumed it had to be something like that. I think my confusion has been caused by terminology. Rightly or wrongly, I tend to think of laws being voted upon by Congress as "Bills" or possibly Resolutions. Whenever I heard/read that "X Report" was approved by the House or Senate, I mistakenly interpreted it as a lesser action. Good to learn something and correct a misconception. Thanx again.

I did find it interesting that due to legalese and governmentese, they take almost 50 pages to discuss a subject that you can explain in a paragraph. I know much of the technical stuff is needed, but not 50 pages worth.

Aside -- how long do you think the average Executive Summery will be for HR 3200?
