The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“AUTHORITY FOR COMMITTEES TO MEET” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the Senate section on pages S2946 on April 9, 1997.
