In addition, the United Nations exchanges documents on a reciprocal basis with a number of foundations and research organizations. United Nations documents are available in the Library of Congress and in the libraries of a number of government agencies that are concerned with questions of international relations.

Department of State Publications

Important United States policy statements on United Nations matters are regularly published in two periodicals, the Department of State Bulletin, a weekly, and Documents and State Papers, a monthly ($5 and $3 a year respectively, Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C.), which also contain significant United Nations resolutions. They frequently include articles summarizing and explaining the work of United Nations organs and agencies and the position of the United States with respect to United Nations questions. The Department of State also, from time to time, publishes separate pamphlets and documents dealing with matters of interest to the United States which are before the United Nations. The Department publishes reports of its Delegations to certain meetings of the United Nations in the International Organization and Conference Series; these are issued as soon as possible after the meetings. The Department also releases other special publications on a wide range of subjects for aid to study groups. Lists of such publications may be obtained from the Division of Publications, Department of State.
