===Official code=== During the 1920s, some members of Congress revived the codification project, resulting in the approval of the United States Code by Congress in 1926.<ref>{{USStatute|69|440|44|777|1926|06|30}}; {{USStatute|69|441|44|778|1926|06|30}}. 44 Stat. 777 does not actually include the text of Public Law 69-440. Under the entry for that law, it instead presents a brief editor's note explaining that Public Law 69-440 was separately published as part 1 of volume 44 of the Statutes at Large (to imply that the reader needs to look on the shelf for that other book).</ref> The official version of the Code is published by the LRC ([[Office of the Law Revision Counsel]]) as a series of paper volumes. The first edition of the Code was contained in a single bound volume; today, it spans several large volumes. Normally, a new edition of the Code is issued every six years, with annual cumulative supplements identifying the changes made by Congress since the last "main edition" was published.<ref name="gpo.gov" /> The official code was last printed in 2018.
