Each volume of the Journals corresponds to a session of Congress and has its own index at the back of the volume. Index entries refer to bill or resolution numbers, which then must be looked up in lists of bills, House Resolutions, and House Concurrent Resolutions which immediately precede the index. The entry for the bill or resolution gives the dates when the matter was discussed or acted on in some way. Occasionally an index entry will give a page number if there is no bill or resolution connected to the matter, as in the annual report in the sample entry below.<\/p>\n<h3>Sample Entry from House Journal (89th Congress, 2nd Session, 1966):<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-125\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/govinfo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2017\/06\/housejourn.png\" alt=\"Sample entry from House Journal\" width=\"376\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/govinfo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2017\/06\/housejourn.png 376w, https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/govinfo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/2017\/06\/housejourn-282x300.png 282w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Sample Entry from Senate Journal (89th Congress, 2nd Session, 1966):<\/h3>\n<p>(IMAGE)<\/p>\n<p>Page Vietnam&#8211;<br \/>\nAgricultural agreements concluded with, reports&#8230; 8, 59,<br \/>\n118, 229, 264, 591<br \/>\nArmed Forces members killed in, appointment to service<br \/>\nacademies for sons&#8211;(See S. 2880.)<br \/>\nCommitments in, fiscal and monetary position of United States,<br \/>\ninvestigate&#8211;(See S.Res. 221.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House and Senate Journals United States.
