These are the people who are restating the Statutes at Large (SAL) into the United
States Code (USC), some of which have been
re-enacted as statutes and some of which have not, so it
requires some research to determine which are statutes and which
are only "evidence" of the statutes. The USC is not to be
confused with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
or with various government forms and instruction books, which
are a product of the various executive branch agencies,
allegedly based on the statutes or codes, but sometimes
extending and deviating from them in significant ways. The
application of provisions of the CFR to any but government
employees or contractors, or to visitors to government
facilities or users of government proprietary assets, is
unconstitutional exercise of the legislative power by the
executive branch agency. For more on this see the Borlase Guide.
