Thanks to the Law Librarian Blog for announcing the Congressional Research Service’s new guide to Legislative History Research. According to its summary, the 15-page guide “provides an overview of federal legislative history research, the legislative process, and where to find congressional documents. The report also summarizes some of the reasons researchers are interested in legislative history, briefly describes the actions a piece of legislation might undergo during the legislative process, and provides a list of easily accessible print and electronic resources.” The electronic sources listed appear to be free, online government sources. Footnotes in the guide also refer to several other CRS Reports on aspects of the federal legislative process:
