The Congressional Record is a published account of the daily activities of the U.S. Congress. The Record includes House and Senate floor proceedings, transcripts of floor debate, notice of bills introduced, full text of conference committee reports, and Presidential actions and communications. The Record consists of four sections: House proceedings, Senate proceedings, Extensions of Remarks, and the Daily Digest. There are two editions of the Record–the daily edition, and a permanent bound edition. In the daily edition, each section is paginated consecutively during each session of Congress. The pages in the daily edition are preceded by the following prefixes: S for Senate, H for House, E for Extension of Remarks, and D for Daily Digest. In the permanent edition, the text is revised and rearranged. The pages are consecutively numbered, but there is no H, S, or E preceding the page numbers. The Daily Digest section of the daily editions is cumulated in one volume of the permanent edit
