Legislative Histories

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Library Staff compiled the following legislative histories throughout the years. We originally researched, collected and bound the legislative histories as paper volumes and made them available only to DOJ employees through the Department's Main Library collection. Today, the histories have been digitized and are now available for general use. The legislative histories include some, or all, of the following: the Public Law; House and Senate Documents; House, Senate, and Conference Reports; House and Senate Committee Hearings; Congressional Debates (Congressional Record); related Bills; and Presidential Signing Statements.
