B.--_Provisions of existing law which are omitted from the bill._

The existing law is set forth in the twenty-odd pages of "Copyright
Office Bulletin No. 1." It consists of Article I, section 8, of the
Constitution, sections 4948 to 4970, inclusive, of the Revised
Statutes, and twelve later acts in amendment thereof. The
substantial provisions of these which are intentionally abrogated
are the following [references are to pages of the Bulletin, copy
herewith]:

[Section 4950, page 6.--Omitted in the bill, but exists still as
part of the act of February 19, 1897.]

Section 4952, page 6_A_.--Ad interim copyright. The requirement for
notice (of date of publication and reservation of copyright) on the
foreign edition is abolished.
