Number: 96-727 Title: Congressional Statistics: Bills Introduced and Laws Enacted, 1947-2004 Authors: Jennifer Manning, Information Research Division Abstract: The Congressional Research Service receives many requests for statistics on the numbers of bills introduced and the numbers of laws enacted in each Congress. Although this information is available in several sources, it is nowhere set out in a simple table. It is generally included in tables with many other indicators of congressional activity. This report is designed to fill the need for a simple tabulation of legislative workload. It provides the numbers of bills and joint resolutions introduced, and the numbers of public and private laws enacted, from the 80th Congress through the 108th Congress (1947-2004).
