Lowman, I received the following from the Congressional Library. Thank you for your question. To research Congressional bills, consult the Congressional Record and its Index. Available at the Library of Congress, the Congressional Record may be found at the Library of Congress, most academic law libraries, and selected federal depository libraries < http://www.gpoaccess.gov/libraries.html > . This helpful source provides index entries under a variety of access points: subject, Committees, and member names. Once you find a particular entry of interest, it will list number references which refer to Congressional Record pages. If preceded by "H.R." or "S" such numbers indicate a bill number. Using this bill number, consult the "History of Bills and Resolutions" portion of the Index. These histories provide a brief legislative history to the bill.
For your topic, we suggest using the member names. The subject of "National Security" was not frequently used although "Petroleum" and "Oil" seem to be valid entries throughout most of the World War II years.
Patron: I would like to research Bills that were enacted during WWII that were introduced and/or backed by Sam Rayburn and/or Lyndon B. Johnson, that pertained to National Security, and in special regards to the Oil and Gas Producers (companies) within America. Thank you,
