INTERPARLIAMENTARY EXCHANGE OF THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL 



In 1909 Congress, ^n order to more fully carry into effect the 

 provisions of the exchange convention concluded at Brussels in 1886, 

 passed a resolution setting aside a certain number of copies of the 

 daily issue of the Congressional Record for exchange, through the 

 Smithsonian Institution, with such foreign governments as may 

 agree to send to the United States current copies of their parliamen- 

 tary record or like publication, the returns to be deposited in the 

 Library of Congress. Since the passage of that resolution many 

 countries have entered into this exchange, 102 copies of the Record 

 now being sent abroad, one new depository — Colonial Secretary, 

 Belize, British Honduras — having been added during the year. 



The depositories of the Record in San Jose, Costa Rica; Port-au- 

 Prince, Haiti; and Belgrade, Yugoslavia, have been discontinued 

 and the following have been added: "A Federagao," Porto Alegre, 

 Brazil; Ufficio degli Studi Legislativi, Rome, Italy; Library of the 

 l^ersian Parliament, Teheran, Persia. The depository in Madrid, 

 Spain has been changed to Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional.
