LexisNexis Congressional
The
LexisNexis Congressional service provides users with efficient,
targeted access to the most comprehensive collection of historic and
current congressional information available anywhere online. This
collection includes the full text of congressional publications, finding
aids, a bill tracking service, and the full text of public laws and
other research materials to enable both novice and experienced
researchers to complete many types of research projects using a single,
user-friendly interface. Since Congress is interested in all public
policy, social, and economic issues, the database is an effective source
for general research in many academic disciplines, in addition to
research related to specific legislative proposals and laws.
Optional module add-on
Congressional Historical Indexes, 1789-7984, allows users to search
online to find bibliographic information on published and unpublished
materials. The online indexes to unpublished hearings are updated on a
biennial basis as archived unpublished materials are released by the
National Archives. Senate hearings generally remain closed for 20 years
and House hearings remain closed for 30 years. Hearings that contain
classified or sensitive material generally remain closed for 50 years.
U.S. Statutes at Large, 1789-present, also an optional add-on
module, is a chronological compilation of federal laws, joint and
concurrent resolutions, presidential proclamations, reorganization
plans, and constitutional amendments. Prior to 1950, it also included
treaties and executive agreements, which have the same legal force as
statutory law.
