THOMAS indexes
bills by subject, sponsor, committee, popular title, and stage reached
in the legislative process since 1973.
It provides a digest or summary, the full text of the bill, and complete legislative status: that is, whether the bill is in committee, being debated, in conference, etc. It can be useful for chosing a topic too, if the topic you want is not covered by Congressional Quarterly. It is a good idea to print this information off. It will give you clues for further research. |
