All Members receive a limited allotment of most congressional publications and documents. Committees also maintain a limited supply of hearings transcripts, committee prints, reports, documents, bills, and resolutions. The House and Senate each have a document room that is open to the public where bills, reports, public laws, and certain documents may be obtained free of charge. Some congressional publications and documents are available for purchase from the Superintendent of Documents of the Government Printing Office (GPO). Original or microform copies of the items may also be found, to varying extents, in major public libraries, Federal depository libraries, and university and law libraries throughout the United States. Congressional publications are available, as well, through websites of the Government Printing Office [[www.access.gpo.gov/su docs/index|(<www.access.gpo.gov/su docs/index>)]], the Library of Congress [[http://thomas.loc.gov|(<http://thomas.loc.gov>)]], and the House [[http://www.house.gov|(<www.house.gov/>)]] and the Senate [[http://www.senate.gov/|(<www.senate.gov/>)]], the latter two sites providing avenues to committee Web sites where documents may be posted. | All Members receive a limited allotment of most congressional publications and documents.
