5 rows here have the same law, recipient, purpose and amount as another row. The Congressional Record may print one item more than once. The count and the total include each row.
Read from the lists Congress printed for 4 laws. An item requested by several members appears under each of them, so sums across members count such an item more than once. A requester is tied to a member only when exactly one member serving in that chamber on that day has the printed name.
