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.
“REPORTS OF COMMITTEES ON PUBLIC BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Energy was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H5973 on June 28, 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.
