The General Services Administration, through the National Archives and Records Service, is responsible for administering the permanent noncurrent records of the Federal Government. These archival holdings, now • amounting to more than I million cubic feet, date from the days of the First Continental Congress and consist of the basic records of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of our Government. The Presidential libraries of Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson contain the papers of those Presidents and many of their associates in office. While many of the archival holdings document events of great moment in our Nation's history, most of them are preserved because of their continuing practical use in the ordinary processes of government, for the protection of private rights, and for the research use of scholars and students.

To facilitate the use of the records and to describe their nature and content, archivists prepare various kinds of finding aids. The present work is one such publication. We believe that it will prove valuable to anyone who wishes to use the records it describes.

ARTHUR F. SAMPSON Acting Administrator of General Services

iii Preface

Special lists are published by the National Archives as part of its records description program. The special list describes in detail the contents of certain important records series; that is, units of records of the same form or that deal with the same subject or activity or that are arranged serially. Its form and style are not fixed but vary according to the nature of the records to which it relates. Its distinguishing characteristic is that it goes beyond the general description contained in a record group registration statement, a preliminary inventory, or an inventory and describes records in terms of individual record items.

In addition to lists and other finding aids that relate to particular record groups, the National Archives issues publications that give an overall picture of materials in its custody. A new, comprehensive Guide to the National Archives of the United States will be issued in 1972. A guide devoted to one geographical area-Guide to Materials on Latin America in the National Archives (1961)-has been published. Reference information papers analyze records in the National Archives on such subjects as transportation, small business, and the Middle East. Records of the Civil War are described in Guide to Federal Archives Relating to the Civil War (1962), Guide to the Archives of the Government of the Confederate States of America (1968), and Civil War Maps in the National Archives (1961); those of World War I in Handbook of Federal World War Agencies and Their Records,1917-1921 (1943); and those of World War II in the two-volume guide, Federal Records of World War II (1950-51). Genealogical records are described in Guide to Genealogical Records in the National Archives (1964). Among the holdings of the National Archives are large quantities of audiovisual materials received from all sources: Government, private, and commercial. The Guide to the Ford Film Collection in the National Archives (1970) describes one of the largest private gift collections. The extensive body of maps and charts is described in the Guide to Cartographic Records in the National Archives (1971 ).

Many bodies of records of high research value have been microfilmed by the National Archives as a form of publication. Positive prints of these microfilm publications, many of which are described in the current List of National Archives Microfilm Publications, are available for purchase. For other publications, see the most recent Select List of Publications of the National Archives and Records Service, General Information Leaflet No.3.

vii I n trod uction

This special list is an enumeration of the published and unpublished hearings of committees of the U.S. Congress which have been located in the Records of the United States Senate, Record Group 46, and in the Records of Joint Committees of Congress, Record Group 128, in the National Archives for the period from the establishment of the Federal system until the end of the 78th Congress (1945).

The congressional committee system, although not mentioned in article I of the Constitution, began to function almost as soon as the Congress itself. The Senate, in fact, established its first committee on April 7, 1789, to "bring in a bill for organizing the Judiciary of the United States."l In the early years both Houses placed major reliance upon select committees that were created for specific purposes. As early as 1801, however, Senate rules provided that a matter could be referred to an existing select committee if that committee were already considering a similar matter. 2 By 1810 the House of Representatives had established several standing committees, and in 1816 the Senate formally created 11 standing committees at one time.3 The number of standing committees has fluctuated since those early years, with the 63d Congress (1913-15) having the largest number. Select and special committees have continued to function, usually to investigate some particularly urgent issue or problem, but such investigations are also often conducted by special subcommittees of standing committees.

Congressional committees generally hold hearings on all major legislative proposals under their consideration. Officials from executive agencies affected by a proposed law usually are invited to testify, along with other Members of Congress, experts on the subject under discussion, lobbyists, and concerned members of the pUblic. In the case of some "watchdog" committees investigating Government spending or some dramatic national issue, the conduct of hearings in itself, and not the consideration of legislation, may be the committee's main function.

The value of committee hearings (the term has come to be used for both the actual proceedings and the printed or unprinted transcript of the proceedings) to the student of the Congress and of national issues has long been recognized. A leading authority on Government publications has referred to hearings as "the most important publications originating within Congress,"4 and it is difficult to disagree with this opinion. Hearings are important because of their wide variety of subject matter, the detailed information, frequently supplemented by elaborate statistical data, provided by expert witnesses, and the contrasting points of view presented on issues of public policy.

Hearings have also been described as "frequently the most elusive"s of congressional publications, and this, unfortunately, is an equally correct judgment. They were not published in any great numbers until the latter part of the 19th century, although some early hearings (generally of special investigative committees) were published as parts of Senate and House

Hearings tl1c'f11sl'lves arl' technically not official publications of Congress as are congressional reports and dOCllments. They arc ordered to be printed by the committees involved (originally "for the use of the committee" only), and, consequently, their publication has been erratic. Distribution of the hGtrings that were published has also been irregular. Published hearings did not become available for purchase from the Superintendent of Documents until 1924 and were not distribu ted to U.S. (;(lwrnment depository libraries until 1938.6

Although the National Archives is the depository of the official records of Congress. it does not have a complete set of congressional hearings. Many committee records of the 19th century apparently haw not been preserved, at least in their original series. After the turn of the century when hearings were ordered to be printed, committees did not always keep a record copy among the documents sent to the National Archives. Such printed hearings, however, can often be found in large libraries. A useful guide is Harold O. Thomen, Checklist of Hearings Before Congressional COlllmittees Through the 67th Congress (Washington, 1942:58).

This special list describes those congressional hearings in transcript or printed form found among the Records of the United States Senate, Record Group 46, and the Records of Joint Committees of Congress, Record Group 128. It also includes many hearings held by committees of the HOllse of Representatives, copies of which were collected by Senate committees concerned with similar SUbjects. Records of various special investigative committees and subcommittees which maintained files as separate units are also included in the list.

Hearings from the records of the U.S. Senate are found in two series-the "committee papers" and th~ "papers accompanying specific bills and resolutions." The former series begins with the creation of standing committees in the 14th Congress (1815-17) and, until the 57th Congress (1901-3), includes generally whatever records of the committees that are extant, with the exception of petitions and memorials. From the 57th Congress committee records pertaining to specific public and private bills were filed numerically in a separate series referred to as the "accompanying papers."

Records were searched beginning with the First Congress in 1789, but no hearings before th~ 38th Congress (1863-65) were found. No hearings later than the 78th Congress (1943-45) are included in this list because by that time hearings increasingly were ordered to be printed and wer~ available for distribution to depository libraries. The Monthly Catalog of COl'crnmcnt Publications adequately indexes these hearings.

The hearings in this list are first arranged according to the Congress in which they were held. from the 38th to the 78th Congress. Thereunder they are listed alphabetically by name of committee, grouped in the following order: standing committees of the Senate, select and special committees of the Senate, standing committees of the House of Representatives, select and special committees of the House of Representatives, and joint committees of Congress.

The following information, if available, is given for each hearing: title of the hearing or bill on which the hearing was held; bill or resolution number (if there is one); date; whether the hearing is in printed or transcript form (the term "transcript" refers to a typewritten or manuscript document, but the hearing may also exist in printed form); and number of pages. For Senate records a citation such as "Sen 70A-F2" is given for hearings located in the committee papers series. These are symbols used in a National Archives finding aid. If no file citation is given, the hearing is located in the accompanying papers series of the Congress under which it is

6 Anne M. Boyd and R. E. Rips, United States Government Publications (New York. 1949), p. 56. INTRODUCTION 3 listed and is filed with the bill indicated. In citations where more than one bill number is given and no file citation is included, the hearing is filed with the bill listed first. Should a hearing be filed with a bill in the accompanying papers series of a Congress other than the one in which it was held, the Congress with which it is filed is given. Finally, if it is known that a hearing has been published in the congressional serial set as a part of a Senate or House report or document, the citation to the serial volume is also given, although the copy in the National Archives may not be the printed version. The records of the Joint Committees of Congress (Record Group 128) are not arranged in such series, and only the specific committee and the record group are indicated.

Certain other practices followed in the preparation of this list should also be noted. Hearings of investigative subcommittees such as the Committee on Interstate Commerce's Subcommittee To Investigate Interstate Railroads, 74th-77th Congresses, and the Committee on Education and Labor's Subcommittee on the Violation of Free Speech and the Rights of Labor, 74th Congress, have been listed with hearings of select and special committees because those subcommittees were in fact conducting special investigations. If the hearings such an investigative committee or si.lbcommittee held extended for more than one Congress, as was frequently the case, the hearings arc listed under only the earliest Congress concerned. Finally, occasional hearings held jointly by two standing committees with similar jurisdictions have generally been listed as hearings of joint committees.

Titles of hearings and bills have been used in the list, but most have been inverted in order to alphabetize by significant words. Introductory language has also been deleted, much capitalization has been eliminated, and other editorial practices have been followed to achieve consistency of expression. Abbreviations have been used in many of the entries. H.R. 416, for example, denotes House bill 416; S. 116, Senate bill 116; Ex. F, Executive F (treaty); and RG, record group. Other abbreviations used are H. rept., House report; H. res., House resolution; H. con. res., House concurrent resolution; H.J. res., House joint resolution; S. doc., Senate document; S. misc. doc., Senate miscellaneous document; S. rept., Senate report; S. res., Senate resolution; S. con. res., Senate concurrent resolution; S.J. res., Senate joint resolution; and public res., public resolution.

The compilers wish to acknowledge the assistance of Buford Rowland and Watson G. Caudill in the preparation of this list. Hearings
