POL5010: Public Policy in the Age of Globalization: Legislative History Sources

Congress' home on the web allows you to track the status of bills in both Houses of Congress. You can also find the full text of bills, public laws, committee reports, hearings transcripts, obtain Roll Call votes, and conduct other legislative research (e.g., search the Congressional Record). Most of the material in THOMAS is complete back to the 104th Congress (1995-1996), coinciding with the time the database was launched, although older material has been added.

The government Printing Office's Federal Digital System (FDsys) provides public access to Government information submitted by Congress and Federal agencies and preserved as technology changes.
