Post# of 51429
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.

For additional guidance on legal research, see:

Question History:

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,
