“I rise in support of H.R. 2297, which restates without substantive change, laws related to transportation and makes other technical improvements in the United States Code. The bill was prepared for the House Judiciary Committee by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel under its authority under section 285(b) of title 2, United States Code, to prepare and submit periodically revisions of positive law titles of the Code to keep those titles current. The Office of the Law Revision Counsel is engaged in an ongoing project of preparing various titles of the United States Code for enactment into positive law. Such codifications are important because they facilitate access to the law on a particular subject by putting it in one place--obviating the necessity of examining disparate statutes. Amending positive law involves fewer technical complexities--and thus presents fewer opportunities for errors--because the United States Code itself is amended rather than having to enact changes in various acts. Finally, positive law facilitates proof in judicial proceedings, because the text of United States Code titles enacted into positive law is legal evidence in Federal and State courts of the laws contained therein.”
