Official Congressional Directory
United States Congress. Official Congressional Directory. 2007-08 edition. Washington: U.S. G.P.O., 1888.
A basic handbook for students of Congress, the Congressional Directory, has been published since the nineteenth century. The Directory lists members of Congress by state with brief biographical annotations, office information, and descriptions of their districts by county and zip code. Information on congressional committees and select statistical information is also included. The Directory, for instance, includes a listing of impeachment proceedings & outcomes, as well as a list of state and territorial governors (both as of August 9, 2007). The handbook contains basic information on legislative branch agencies, executive agencies, and independent agencies, as well as on the judiciary. The Directory includes a very useful section on Congressional District Maps, which allows comparison of counties and congressional districts.
