  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from

                             General Leave

  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their 
remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 2830, currently under 
consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Virginia?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring before the House H.R. 2830, a bill 
to make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain 
provisions classified to title 2 of the United States Code.
  The Office of the Law Revision Counsel has an ongoing responsibility 
under section 285b of title 2 of the United States Code to maintain the 
United States Code and assist the House Judiciary Committee in the 
revision and codification of Federal statutes.
  In order to maintain and improve the United States Code, the Office 
of the Law Revision Counsel must occasionally undertake editorial 
reclassification projects to reorganize areas of law that have outgrown 
their original boundaries, or to eliminate organizational units that 
are no longer efficient. The office assures us that the decision to 
transfer provisions in the United States Code is not undertaken 
lightly. After careful study, the Law Revision Counsel recently 
identified certain organizational deficiencies in the code that needed 
to be corrected, and accordingly, undertook the necessary changes.
  The purpose of this bill is to update statutory references to laws 
classified to title 2 of the United States Code. H.R. 2830 will amend 
these citations to accurately reflect the new location of the 
corresponding provisions in the U.S. Code in light of the recent 
editorial reclassification of title 2. I want to thank Ranking Member 
Conyers for sponsoring this bill along with me today.
  Title 2 of the U.S. Code includes all of the laws governing Congress 
and the legislative branch. The reorganization of title 2 for the 
purpose of the online version of the code took place on February 1, 
2014.
  Because chapters 3 and 4 of title 2 far outgrew their original 
boundaries, the Office of Law Revision Counsel reorganized these two 
chapters into 11 new chapters in order to set forth more clearly the 
provisions related to the House of Representatives and the Senate. No 
statutory text was altered by the reorganization; the provisions were 
merely transferred from one place in title 2 to another.
  As a result of the reclassification, title 2 now better exhibits the 
laws governing congressional pay and benefits, ethics, leadership, and 
administration, just to name a few.
  The short-term inconvenience of adjusting to new code citations is 
greatly outweighed by the benefit of much-needed long-term improvements 
in the organizational structure in the United States Code. Further, to 
eliminate any confusion, the office provides a comprehensive guide to 
the old and new code citations on its Web site: uscode.house.gov.
  With enactment of this legislation, the citations that refer to code 
sections altered by the reorganization will be updated to reflect the 
changes made to title 2.
  For the foregoing reasons, I urge my colleagues to support this 
important bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, as the chairman has indicated, this bill makes technical 
amendments to title 2 of the U.S. Code in order to update statutory 
references and was crafted by the House Office of Law Revision Counsel, 
which is charged with developing and keeping current the United States 
Code.
  This is really an enormous task. On average, Congress passes into law 
more than 6,900 pages of new public law each year. As that happens, 
some areas of the law get jammed into the code and become difficult to 
navigate. So this bill, along with the two that follow, just make it 
easier to read. It doesn't make any substantive changes whatsoever, and 
I support this legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman Goodlatte and Ranking Member 
Conyers for the work they put in to accomplish this fix.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for her 
assistance. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) that the House suspend the 
rules and pass the bill, H.R. 2830.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
