And you shouldn't have made an exception in this case. There is no
Congressman Tony Schnell, for example, and 602P is a badly-formed bill
designation - if it were a real bill in front of the US Congress, it
would be H.R.602 or S.602.
You may want to downgrade your opinion of the source you received this
from from "reputable".
