Comma precedes folio figures.

If numbers of several bills are given, use this form: (see S. 24, 25); (see H.R. 217, 218), etc.; that is, do not repeat S. or H.R. with each number.

In consecutive numbers (more than two) use an en dash to connect first with last: S46-S48, 518-520.

Quotes are used for book titles.

A 3-em dash is used as a ditto for word or words leading up to colon:
