Section 69
 What's this? The Congressional Record is the official journal of Congress's daily proceedings. Though often a transcript of the debates on the House and Senate floors, like C-SPAN transcripts, the Congressional Record can be significantly modified by Members of Congress after the fact. Entries in the Congressional Record can reflect the edited, prepared versions of statements actually made on the floor, and on very rare occasions can contain seeming entire debates between Members of Congress that never took place. Only floor proceedings are a part of the Record, and so committee meetings are not available this way. |
