...authority of substantive law. In every city, town and hamlet NRA's viceroys, the code authorities, govern as best they can. The 1,400 mills of the cotton textile industry, employing half a million workers, which for years had known no law but strife, now all obey one law in regard to hours, wages, production. To other industries, such as automobiles, the change may make less difference, but it is law of a kind and its potentialities are vast.

Senator King...
...files of the agencies which had issued them. Some had gone out as press releases, as mimeographed sheets or pamphlets to those who had put themselves on the agencies' mailing lists. Others were simply tucked away in the files. Nowhere in the land could a businessman anxious to obey the law find in one place all the laws he was supposed to obey...
