Section 893 of Title 48, U.S. Code, provides that: "The Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico shall be allowed the franking privilege granted Members of Congress."

By inference he should be included in section 733, since the franking privilege should include the means to use

it.

Changes have been made in section 733 to include the Resident Commissioner as to printing of franks.
