UNITED STATES CONGRESS TRACING
(Approved for use Janaury 12, 2000)
United States Congress special tracings are made for federal government documents printed and published before 1818 and cataloged as a monograph. The tracing is made in order to organize government documents from the Continental Congresses and the first fifteen Congresses in chronological order. Tracings are not made for publications issued after the fifteenth Congress since other reference tools are available.
