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 Presidentiallibrar ies 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.

iii Preface
Special lists are published by the National Archives and Records Service (NARS) 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, NARS 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. 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 of the United States (hereafter called the 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 (1964); 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). In the 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 NARS 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.

• l Introduction
This special list catalogs the printed hearings of the U.S. House of Representatives that have been found among its committee records in the Archives covering the period 1789-1958. The list, however, does not include all the printed hearings issued during that period by the House because its committee files in the Archives lack copies of many hearings and because no methodical effort has been made to list the committee hearings that are printed as parts of committee reports or House documents, although some of those hearings are in the list. The congressional committee system, although the Constitution makes no provision for it, dates from the very first session of the National Legislature, in 1789, in New York City. "The [legislative] committee concept was borrowed from the British Parliament and transmitted to the New World by way of the colonial legislatures, most notably those of Pennsylvania and Virginia."l In the early years the House created select committees, as occasions required, to handle particular concerns during the term of each Congress. For example, a select committee in the 2d Congress conducted the first investigation on the part of the House: the circumstances of the defeat of Maj. Gen. Arthur St. Clair at the hands of Indians in 1791. Standing committees, however, gradually superseded select committees. By 1800 the House had established four standing committees: the Committee on Elections in 1789, the Committee on Claims in 1794, and in 1795 the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce and the Committee on Revisal and Unfmished Business. There were 11 standing committees functioning in 1820, and the number of them has varied since then with 21 in existence today. On the other hand, select committees have continually been created by the House to carry out special studies and investigations and, on infrequent occasions, the House has joined with the Senate in forming joint committees to handle questions of common interest. The House committee has been styled "the eye, the ear, the hand, and very often the brain of the House," by Thomas B. Reed, who served as its Speaker in the 51st, 54th, and 55th Congresses. "Freed from the very great inconvenience of numbers, it can study a question, obtain full information, and put the proposed legislation into shape for final action.,,2 The term "hearing" is commonly used for the record of witnesses' testimony and of the exhibits received in evidence during the sessions of a congressional committee as well as for the formal proceeding in which a congressional committee exercises its fact finding functions in discharge of its powers to study proposed legislation, conduct investigations, and weigh other legislative matters. The published hearings in the mes of the House are of • three types: prints, handwritten transcripts, and typewritten transcripts. The transcripts are original documents, and from them the printed versions of hearings were made. Some prints and transcripts are incomplete. The earliest hearing located among the committee records of the House in the Archives is dated 1824:

Congressional committees conduct hearings in sessions open to the public or in closed (executive) sessions. Committees sometimes hold hearings outside Washington, but most House hearings have been held in the committee rooms in the Capitol or in the House Office Buildings. "Here in these spacious chambers with their frescoed domes and swinging chandeliers, their walls adorned with the portraits of former chairmen, the cushioned chairs ... the visitor sees ... the spokesmen for all the competing interests of American society [testifying]: the lobbyist and the expert, the captain of industry and the labor official, the military men from the Pentagon and the fmanciers from Wall Street, the Cabinet member and the Dureau chief, the merchant and the farmer, the lawyer and the judge .... ,,3 The value of committee hearings to the student of the Congress and of national issues has long been recognized. The historian, the lawyer, the economist, the political scientist, the journalist, and every other researcher upon whose topic congressional action has had a bearing can scarcely dispense with committee hearings in the documentation of their studies. The remarks of authorities on the value of congressional hearings are noteworthy. George B. Galloway, a student of congressional procedure, termed congressional hearings a goldmine of information about all the public problems of the United States.4 Ernest S. Griffith, former head of the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress, remarked that congressional hearings are mines of information that furnish background for much of our current writing-editorial, economic, and other. 5 In addition to this list, there are other fmding aids to congressional hearings. NARS has issued Special List No. 32 showing the hearings among the records of the Senate, and of joint committees, in the Archives, 38th-78th Congresses. Both the Senate library and the House library have published books of indexes to the hearings among their holdings. Harold O. Thomen has compiled a checklist of hearings up to the 67th Congress that are found at the Library of Congress and other institutions. The document catalogs published by the Government Printing Office provide indexes to hearings. This special list classifies hearings according to the congressional sessions to which they relate, and then it lists, for each Congress, its hearings under the names of the committees that produced the hearings. Where there are hearings of both standing and select and special committees listed for a particular Congress, the hearings of select and special committees are listed after the entries relating to the standing committees. The entries in the special list comprise the titles of the hearings, indicate the bills and resolutions involved, if any and if known, the dates of the hearings, and usually the number of pages of the documents. The titles of the hearinlZs are often the same as tho~e used by the committees, but many titles have been altered to shorten them or to place the key word or words at the beginning of the titles for easier comprehension. Some of the titles relate to hearings of joint and Senate committees, interspersed among the committee records of the House.
