Versions of the Congressional Record

Congressional Record - Daily edition – The Congressional Record contains the floor debate on legislative proposals under Congressional consideration, the text of all floor amendments to bills and resolutions, occasionally the text of Senate bills and less frequently the text of House bills. Conference committee reports may also be included. Since 1967 the Daily edition has been composed of separately paginated sections - H (House), S (Senate), E (Extension of Remarks) and D (Daily Digest). It is accompanied by a semimonthly Index.
Permanent edition – The slow to be published Permanent edition of the Congressional Record contains the rearranged contents of the daily edition organized in a single numeric page sequence that integrates the daily chronology of House and Senate activities. It also includes an annual index for each session of Congress for locating the permanent edition citations of daily edition materials. Daily edition citations should always be converted into permanent edition citations if the latter are available - Bluebook rule 13.5.
