what I was looking for whan I asked Willie the question was the number of bills passed by congress that reach the presidents desk for his signature, thus making it law.
I suspect that most of what gets put into place today is done by the bureaucrats through regulations.
But it is a question worth finding the answer too. How many bills does congress send to the president a year?

FYI, I flagged you guys to the thread about Federal regulations.
There were 4313 new regulations in 2000, but only 4132 in 2001. We are making tremendous progress!

Some recent info from
NARA :
104th congress: 333 public laws, 4 private laws.
105th congress: 394 public laws, 10 private laws.
106th congress: 580 public laws, 24 private laws.
107th congress (so far): 209 public laws, 1 private law.
These are the ones signed by the president, and not vetoed or pocket vetoed.
