Linking to Thomas demystified

By at 1:49 pm Sunday, Mar 10

People attempting to link to Thomas, the online Congressional record, have been stymied by Thomas's braindamaged link-structure. Thmoas has a top-seekrit page for anyone trying to link into their site.
<a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/R?r104:FLD001:H51564:">House Page 1564</A>

Hotlink corresponding to above syntax: House Page 1564 in the second session
