Abstract
Today Members of the US Congress confront increasingly complex issues which span a broad array of topics from national defense to the environment. At the same time, demands on individual legislators, congressional committees, and the institution of Congress itself continue to grow. To deal more effectively with traditional tasks and provide improved information support to legislators Congress now employs a wide variety of computer, telecommunications, and audio-video systems. The Senate, House of Representatives and the Library of Congress' Congressional Research Service engage in a number of cooperative automated activities. Central among these is an online information retrieval system which provides immediate access to data on pending legislation. Specialized databases serve the needs of the individual legislative chambers and the Congressional Research Service offers electronic briefing papers on current issues. The latest developments focus on networking existing systems and utilizing audio and video technologies.
