LexisNexis Congessional Hearings

Access this trial: click here

"Public policy starts and ends with Congressional committee hearings. In these hearings, committees assess, amend, approve or kill legislation, as well as oversee the implementation and effectiveness of previously enacted legislation falling under their jurisdiction. Giving researchers access to the content of both published and unpublished hearings, the NEW LexisNexis Congressional Hearings Digital Collection forms an unparalleled documentary record of events and public policy issues faced by America, as well as the objectives and actions of Congress in dealing with these events and issues."

Trial provides FULL TEXT for 1971-1996, 2004-2007, and ABSTRACTS and SUMMARIES for 1824-1970 and 1997-2003. When the data has been completely loaded (between 1-2 milllion pages are being added each month), all years from 1824 will be available in full text through these packages: Retro A (1824-1979), Retro B (1980-2003), and Prospective (2004-2007).
