Federal Legislative History

Resources for locating a compiled legislative history, and compiling one of your own.

Additional Documents

 Committee Prints are publications issued by Congressional Committees that include topics related to their legislative or research activities. They are intended as internal documents. Consequently, they are not as widely available as other legislative documents.

Presidential Signing Statements are written comments issued by a President upon signing a bill. Some critics do not believe these should be considered as part of the legislative history; however, they are included here to facilitate research.
