The Speaker, the President Pro-Temp of the Senate, and the House Admin Chairman all had to sign it certifying that the document was what Congress actually meant to pass, but you pretty much just have to take it on faith that the staff printed it correctly. I'd hate to be the jackass in the Clerk's Office who screwed this one up! I was told that one of my predecessors had screwed up by leaving a couple of (minor) bills on the Metro one time. They were never found. Since then, the bills and the courier have gone to the White House in the back of Capitol Police cruiser. It was a pretty sweet gig, although it did once require me to see Strom Thurmond in his underwear.

How are we supposed to replace this tax-hiking cipher with a genuine limited-government fellow if the most articulate critic of his (Wittman's) record bolts the district?! Nooooooooo!
