Another resource to check is your local public library. The one in San
Francisco, CA provides access to Gale's VRL (Virtual Reference Library) to its
patrons (library card required for access). The libraries in other large, U.S.
cities are probably also offering free, online access to the GVRL to their
patrons.
There are also a couple of hard copy options. Some cities have a
public access law library. And some library systems are part of the U.S.
Federal Depository Library Program (e.g. SFPL's "United States Government"
page has details) with a comprehensive collection of federal
documents.
