Wealth of Information in the Congressional Record


Search the Congressional Record for quotes for "this day in history." For example, the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is this week, so quotes can be found relating to this landmark in history. Other topics include prohibition, Miranda rights, etc. There is a wealth of information available in the Record. There are speeches from state senators regarding why the U.S. should not join WWII, pre-Pearl Harbor speeches, and similar debates concerning funding to build up Pearl Harbor and other naval bases, which may have incited the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The print version of the Record is also available in depository libraries.
