The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings, debates, and activities of Congress. Although the Record contains a substantially verbatim account of the proceedings and debate, it also contains extensive inserted materials, communications from the President and executive agencies, memorials, and petitions.
The Congressional Record Daily Edition, included in ProQuest Congressional since 1985, has 4 different sections, one each for the House, Senate, Extension of Remarks, and Daily Digest. Pages in each of these section are preceded by H, S, E, and D (respectively). Search results indicate which part of the daily Record the result comes from in the filters on the left.
The Congressional Record Daily Edition (1985-current) is a part of the Congressional Basic subscription.
Daily and Bound Editions: There are two editions of the Record, a daily one and a bound, permanent one. The daily edition reports each day’s proceedings in Congress and is published on the succeeding day. At the end of each session of Congress, all of the daily editions are collected, re-paginated, and re-indexed into a permanent, bound edition.
