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.
“GENERAL LEAVE” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H4748 on June 23, 1999.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
