New Data. 110th bills are complete except for PAP topic, private or commemorative, and member biographical. The 106th-109th are now labeled for PAP topic and are complete except for member biographical. Earlier versions of the 110th House included errors due to new committee names. Those errors (Refer***, Mref***) have been corrected.

93rd Congress bill passage data problems. The Congressional Research Service has informed us that the THOMAS website contains errors for the 93rd Congress. In particular, many more bills actually passed than the passedH and passedS variables in our dataset indicate. These variables should not be used for this Congress.
