Knowing a bill number is key to finding information on the bill. If the source where you learned about the bill did not include the bill number, which general news publications often do not, you can find the bill by searching for it by topic in one of the "congressional sources" listed above, ProQuest Congressional.

ProQuest Congressional provides an online Bill Tracking Report within the legislative history beginning with P.L. 101-1 (1989). Links are provided to the full text for dates of consideration of the bill reported in the Congressional Record.
