You know, Bill, let's do lay this to rest. From your own documents:
"That Mr. Aitkin has at great expence now finished an American edition of the holy scriptures in English; that the committee have from time to time attended to his progress in the work; that they also recommended it to the two chaplains of Congress to examine and give their opinion of the execution, who have accordingly reported thereon.
The recommendation and report being as follows: 'Philadelphia, September 1st, 1782.
Reverend gentlemen,
Our knowledge of your piety and public spirit leads us without apology to recommend to your particular attention the edition of the holy scriptures publishing by Mr. Aitkin. He undertook this expensive work at a time, when from the circumstances of the war an English edition of the bible could not be imported, nor any opinion formed how long the obstruction might continue. On this account particularly he deserves applause and encouragement. We therefore with you, reverend gentlemen, to examine the execution of the work, and if approved to give it the sanction of your judgement and the weight of your recommendation. We are, with very great respect your most obedient humble servants. Signed [etc.]
Report.
[The report states that the "Reverend gentlemen" are happy with the printing, even with the errors that have made it into the text.]
[Then the committee report is printed as follows: heading]
Whereupon,
Resolved, That the United States in Congress assembled highly approve the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitkin, as subservient to the interest of religion as well as an influance of the progress of arts in this country, and being satisfied from the above report, of his care and accuracy in the execution of the work, they recommend this edition of the bible to the inhabitants of the United States, and hereby authorize him to publish this recommendation in the manner he shall think proper."

So there you have it Bill, Congress did not order any bibles, fund any bibles, or publish any bibles. Aitkin took the project on himself, and because of the shortage of bibles, and because it was the first one printed in America, Congress allowed him to print their recommendation of his bible.
It was not published under Congressional patronage or sponsorship. On the contrary, all Congress did was have its two chaplains review the Bible for accuracy, and therefore they were only recommending it as an accurate version. They gave as much weight to the "progress of arts".
That they authorized a committee to try and buy bibles early in the war was to avoid price gouging due to the shortage the war created.
Bill, your cut and paste purposely left out important qualifiers to the "recommendation" by Congress. This makes you a bona fide Liar for Jesus.
