The work of the United States Congress involves a wide range of subjects which result in an equally wide range of publications. One of the most widely known Congressional publications is the hearing. These provide the text of the discussions in the meetings of a particular committee. They frequently include testimony from experts in the field being investigated. Budget hearings often discuss funding of such projects and other hearings often bring in experts to provide testimony for or against a subject under debate.
Depending on the year of interest, full text of the hearings can be found in paper volumes, microfiche, or online. The database below will provide citations, and often full text, for the appropriate Congressional publication.
