dxp@pyuxhh.UUCP (11/03/83)

 As I'm getting older I find I'm more interested in the politics
that are going on around me and want to know more about them.
Can anyone tell me how and where I can find what legislation 
is currently before the House of Representatives and also before
the Senate,a brief overview of the proposed bill and which bill
is its co-respondant in the other house ??????

		Thanks,

     There is a publication called the 'Congressional Quarterly', which
is actually a weekly, that should be available in your local public
or  university library.  It covers upcoming legislation, recent votes,
and has longer articles on topics of current interest.  If you have a
more specific interest and want to get exhaustive data on a piece of
proposed legislation, go to a law library and ask for one of the reporter
services that track congress, committee prints of hearings, and the
Federal Register.  That will give you essentially complete transcripts
and texts of the legislation.
