Congressional Hearings on the Web

     Links here present a mixed bag. Most of them take you to the home page of the committee holding the specified hearings. Some of the sites consist of little more than a home page. Others offer excerpts from transcripts -- primarily prepared statements. Still, some of that material could be useful as background information.

THOMAS

     A service of the Library of Congress, THOMAS is an effort "to make Federal legislative information freely available to the Internet public." Search boxes at the address above allow you to search for information on bills in the current session of Congress. Links take you to information about legislation from previous Congresses, the text of the Congressional Record and other items related to the federal government.
