as will be seen from the foregoing statement, the number of documents sent 

 abroad by the Departments and Bureaus of this Government is, in most instances, 

 much greater than the quantity of similar works received in exchange. While 

 this may partly be due to the fact that few governments publish so extensively 

 as the United States, yet it seems unlikely that the fullest possible exchange 

 has been attained, and it is proposed during the coming year to use a part of the 

 increase in the exchange appropriation in the employment of an additional 

 clerk to assist in carrying on the work of completing and increasing the num- 

 ber of foreign government publications received by American governmental 

 establishments. 



FOREIGN DEPOSITORIES OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. 



In accordance with treaty stipulations and under the authority of the Con- 

 gressional resolutions of March 2, 1867, and March 2, 1901, setting apart a 

 certain number of documents for exchange with foreign countries, there are 

 now sent regularly to depositories abroad 53 full sets of United States official 

 publications and 30 partial sets. During the past year the Librarian of Con- 

 gress, in accordance with the discretion vested in him by the act of 1901, directed 

 that the legislative library at Edmonton, Alberta, the national library at Quito, 

 Ecuador, and the Panama department of foreign affairs at Panama be added 

 to the list of depositories of partial sets. The recipients of full and partial 

 sets are as follows : 



DEPOSITORIES OF FULL SETS. 



Argentina : Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Buenos Aires. 

 Argentina : Biblioteca de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata. 

 Australia : Library of the Commonwealth Parliament, Melbourne.
