Does anyone know what the length of the CFR(Code of Federal Regulations)volumes are side by side on a shelf would be these days? In the 1960's the total was about 6 feet of shelf space. The last time I saw the the set in the federal bldg in Seattle in the 1980's it was about 30 feet long. It is now 2010 and are they even able to publish the CFR anymore?

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of
their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or
so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised
before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man
who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be
to-morrow." --James Madison (likely), Federalist No. 62, 1788
