U.S. Legislative Info Service THOMAS Turns Fifteen

This week marked the fifteenth anniversary of the launch of THOMAS, the legislative information service of the American Congress.

The site has added many new features recently, including:

• a widget to save or share a permanent link via bookmarks, email, or social networking sites such as Twitter or Facebook
• a new RSS feed for bills that have passed both the House and Senate and have been sent to the White House for the President's signature
• a tip of the week on using the system
• more visible access to official Government Printing Office (GPO) PDF versions of bills

THOMAS is maintained by the Library of Congress and can be used to track bills and activities on the floor of the two houses of the American Congress and in committees.
