Deschler-Brown Precedents Volume 17 (Chapter 34 and 35) is now available from the U.S. Government Printing Office. Chapter 34 contains Constitutional Amendments and Chapter 35 covers Presidential messages and executive communications.

The early parliamentary precedents of the U.S. House of Representatives were published by Asher Hinds (1907) and Clarence Cannon (1936).

Volume 17 of the Deschler-Brown Precedents incorporates an eclectic mix of chapters not logically placed in earlier volumes: constitutional amendments (ch. 34); presidential messages and executive communications (ch. 35); ceremonies and awards (ch. 36); resignations (ch. 37); deaths (ch. 38); recesses (ch. 39); and adjournments (ch. 40). As chapters 36-40 are completed with indices, each will be made available online.
