Good luck to Biard & Culberson & their supporters. Given the convoluted style in which most legislation is written, I would like to see a requirement that the internet posting include a summary comprehensible to non-lawyers. People should be able to understand it without having to look up cross-references in the encyclopedia-sized code of US law. HR554 sounds like a winner.

The bill states that the current time window for report availability is already at 3 days. The only thing I can see that is new is that the reports are stated to be available on the internet to Members. Is that the only difference between the current rules and H.Res.554? I certainly don't expect bills containing classified material to be available to the public online. I believe H.Res.554 states this. After reading H.Res.554, I’m a little confused on something.
