 Foreword
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.

 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.

 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:

2 INTRODUCTION

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.
