Immigration Laws and Rules aka Immigration Laws aka Laws, etc
[NOTE: this was originally posted on Free Government Information. See the full story there.]. In searching for a 1913 Department of Labor document called "Immigration Laws and Rules" (WorldCat record), I found this little gem of a quote on p.156 of the July 1913 – June 1914 MoCat volume (btw, Internet Archive has a long run of the Monthly Catalogue online!) which gave me the publishing history of the publication along with a public admonition IN 1913(!) that finding government documents is difficult:
A QUESTION OF EDITIONS
Immigration laws, rules of Nov. 15, 1911, was issued in January, 1912. The same publication, with amendments, 2d edition, appeared in May, 1912. A 3d edition, with amended footnotes, was published in August, 1912. Another print of this last-named publication, with amendments, and designated as 2d edition, was issued under the printed date Mar. 10, 1913, and entered in the April Monthly catalogue. The same publication, without amendment, was reprinted later in May, 1913, as 4th edition. A fifth issue, dated Sept. 9, 1913, is called 1st edition. The reason for calling this a 1st edition instead of a 5th edition is stated to be that it is the first publication of the Immigration laws made by authority of the present Commissioner General of Immigration. This seems a natural enough reason, but when it comes to be considered it will be seen that it amounts to numbering the official instead of the publication.
President Wilson did not find it necessary to start a new set of numbers for his proclamations and Executive orders. He continued the same series that had been begun by Presidents Roosevelt and Taft. President Taft’s last proclamation is numbered 1236, President Wilson’s first, 1237. President Taft’s last Executive order is no. 1743, President Wilson’s first, 1744.
The various editions of the Immigration laws are sent, by requirement of law to nearly 500 official libraries, which must arrange the publications received in such order that they may be readily found when wanted. With two 1st editions, one published in 1912 and the other in 1913, and two 2d editions, showing the same discrepancy, with a 1st edition of a later date than the 4th edition, and a 2d edition following the 3d edition, it will be seen that the work of the librarian remote from Washington, and consequently from official explanation, is made needlessly hard and confusing.
This is the only reason why the Monthly catalogue thinks it necessary to print this note. The Catalogue is the official medium between the depository libraries and the Government publishing bureaus, and the libraries look to the Catalogue to straighten out for them those things in the public documents which on the surface appear tangled and troublesome.

Style Manual & Writer’s Guide for Intelligence Publications, Director of Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, US Department of Justice, 2011
Leaked Document, Original Published in 1989.
We could all learn a lot from the CIA on writing cleanly. In particular:
Keep the language crisp and pungent; prefer the forthright to the pompous and ornate.
Do not stray from the subject; omit the extraneous, no matter how brilliant it may seem or even be.
Favor the active voice and shUll streams of polysyllables and prepositional phrases.
Keep sentences and paragraphs short, and vary the structure of both.
Be frugal in the use of adjectives and adverbs; let nouns and verbs show their own power.
Make sure that subject and verb agree in number; do not be tricked by intervening words.
Be just as sure that every pronoun has a clearly identifiable antecedent and that the two agree in number and gender.
Be aware of your reading audience; reserve technical language for technical readers.
Be objective; write as a reporter or analyst or administrator unless you are entitled to write as a policymaker.
