The
Serial Set contains the House and Senate Documents and
the House and Senate Reports bound by session of Congress. The print version of
this publication began in 1817 with the 15th Congress, 1st Session. There are
two electronic databases available through GPO Access -- Congressional Documents
and Congressional Reports covering the 104th Congress (1995-96) to present.
Congressional Documents contains House, Senate, Senate Executive and Senate
Treaty documents that originate from congressional committees covering a wide
variety of topics. Other documents that have been included are reports from
executive departments, independent organizations, non-governmental organization
annual reports and special investigative reports made for Congress.
Congressional Reports contains House, Senate and Senate Executive Reports.
These reports deal with proposed legislation and issues under investigation from
congressional committees.
Both databases provide the documents in ASCII text or pdf files. The documents
of the current Congress are added as electronic versions become available,
therefore, the database is updated irregularly.
