The U.S. Code has a general index that provides subject access and a popular names index for access to popular names of acts. A section of tables provides cross-references from the sections of the Statutes at Large to the appropriate sections of the U.S. Code. It includes all recorded cases and other sources that have cited the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Code, the Statutes at Large not in the U.S. Code, U.S. Supreme Court rules, and treaties. This set can be found on the 2nd floor of the library at KF 101.2 .S542. Concurrent resolutions are used for matters effecting both houses.
Acts are bills that have been passed into law.
Hearings contain oral testimony and written materials submitted to committees of Congress. Committee prints are documents requested by committees which are compiled by their research staffs or the Congressional Research Service. They are used for background information. When a committee sends a bill to the floor, it is accompanied by a written report justifying its action. It explains the purpose and scope of the bill.
