TRANSCRIPT
- 1. Finding Congressional Hearing Testimony Outside of Lexis
Nexis Congressional
2. In Lexis Nexis Congressional, search by number and find a
legislative history by PL number.
3. Choose the legislative history for your public law.
4. Scroll down to the hearings section. Take note of which
committees were involved.
5. Go to the Federal Digital System site: www.fdsys.govChoose
Browse Government Publications
6. A quick note about FDsys
FDsys includes only those hearings that were published by the
Government Printing Office. It is far from inclusive.
7. Choose Congressional Hearings including House and Senate
Appropriation Hearings. Continue to click through until you get to
the Congress, House/Senate, and committee where the hearing took
place.
8. Scroll down to see if the hearing you are looking for or a
similar hearing is on the list. Choose PDF or text to see the
proceedings.
9. Searching FDsys
You also can do an advanced search in FDsys and limit your results
to a given time period and to hearings. This is another option for
finding relevant material outside of Lexis Nexis.
