From the better-than-nothing department: Thomas [1] has posted instructions [2] for how to link directly to legislation.

Well, it is certainly nice to be able to link to legislation with a persistent link! But it would be much better if one could click to create a link rather than following a 600 word description of how to link on another page.

Here is the essence of how to create a persistent link:

To link to Senate bill 254 from the 110th Congress, just add "110s254" to:

http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.uscongress/legislation

.

Like this:

http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.uscongress/legislation.110s254 [3]
