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.
“MESSAGES FROM THE HOUSE RECEIVED DURING ADJOURNMENT” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Energy was published in the Senate section on pages S6185 on Sept. 17, 2018.
The Department oversees energy policies and is involved in how the US handles nuclear programs. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department's misguided energy regulations have caused large losses to consumers for decades.
