Today I learnt how to locate sections of the US Code using the popular name of the Act.
Those helpful people at the Legal Information Institute at Cornell have made available an A-Z list of popular names. The popular names are generally the names given to pieces of legislation as they pass through Congress. This list allows you to look up the popular name and see exactly which parts of the US code it has ended up in. For some popular names you will also be given a Public Law number and a link to the bill as it was originally passed by Congress. That link will take you to the LRC THOMAS legislative system, or GPO FDSYS site.
