- Being fair, sometimes those esoteric materials are just what you're looking
- for. I'm currently going nuts trying to find Senate report 94-473, the
- Senate's legislative history to the Copyright Act of 1976. The House report
- is considered the dispositive one, and the Senate report was never set forth
- in the USC&CAN. The problem is that most of the Senate bill was cut, and so
- the history is not particularly relevant to what was passed. Unfortunately,
- it is what was cut that I'm interested in.

- I do have access to a copy on microfilm, byt I am still working on getting my
- own printed copy. A gentleman at the office of the Senate Judiciary Office
- has offered to lend someone locally in Washington a copy, but that doesn't
- help me here in California. Now, if a kind misc.legal reader would be
- willing to traipse down to the Senate, borrow the copy, xerox and send it to
- me... :-)
