| ___________________________________________________________________ Several print sources, while not containing the full text of compiled legislative histories, point to the location of full text compiled legislative histories or provide a listing of the documents that will be contained in the legislative history of a particular statute. This listing of documents will provide you with a roadmap to collect the component documents, either online or in print.

Since 1970, CIS has published CIS Annual: Legislative Histories of Public Laws, an annual volume with selected listings of the component documents of legislative histories. UNITED STATES CODE CONGRESSIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE NEWS (USCCAN) [KF48]. This source is published by West Publishing Co. and covers legislation passed by Congress starting from the 77th Congress, 1st Session, 1948 to date. The texts of the laws are arranged in chronological order and selected documents of the legislative history are included. These include House, Senate, and conference reports. Reports not reprinted are cited. However, bills, hearings, congressional debates, committee prints, and related executive materials are neither printed nor cited. Significant dates such as dates of consideration, passage in each chamber of Congress, and approval dates are given. For each session of Congress there is a subject index and a legislative history table arranged by public law number. The table provides bill numbers, Statutes at Large citations, report numbers, names of committees, and Congressional Record dates.
