How to find government documents in areas that require special research techniques.
"There are several areas within government publications that do not fit in with the basic subject, agency, or statistical search strategies. These areas require different strategies or procedures for uncovering information. Generally, these strategies do not rely heavinly on the basic government publication indexes, but rather on special indexes or materials available as part of the U.S. government collection or from commercial sources" (Sears and Moody, Using Government Publications: Electronic and Print, 419).

Legislative History and Process
National Archives and Records Administration
