1. Research and analysis.-The Legislative Reference Service assists Members and committees of Congress by preparing research reports, digests, translations, charts, and consultative services, and by supplying reference information and materials. The bulk of these services are furnished through seven subject-matter divisions: American Law, Economics, Education and Public Welfare, Foreign Affairs, Government and General Research, Natural Resources and Science Policy Research. Under specific authorization of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, senior specialists are also available for highlevel research and consultative services in the following fields: International economics, international relations, American government and public administration, conservation, American public law, labor, engineering and public works, agriculture, price economics, national defense, social welfare, and science and technology. In 1964, 97,000 congressional inquiries were answered. The number of inquiries in 1965 is estimated at 100,000; and in 1966, 105,000.

2. Preparation of indexes and digests.-The Digest of Public General Bills covers all public bills and resolutions. It is expected that there will be about the same number of bills to be digested during the first session of the Eightyninth Congress as were digested for the first session of the Eighty-eighth Congress.

3. Reference files, bibliographies and congressional reader services.-Reference files, containing clippings, pamphlets high percentage of inquiries; researchers are supplied with and documents, are maintained as the basis for reply to a bibliographic and reference tools; selective and comprehensive bibliographies are prepared for Members and committees of Congress; and reader services are provided by the Congressional Reading Room.
