FOREWORD
The Congressional Directory is one of the oldest working handbooks
within the United States Government. While there were unofficial
directories for Congress in one form or another beginning with the 1st
Congress in 1789, the Congressional Directory published in 1847 for the
30th Congress is considered by scholars and historians to be the first
official edition because it was the first to be ordered and paid for by
Congress. With the addition of biographical sketches of legislators in
1867, the Congressional Directory attained its modern format.
The Congressional Directory is published by the United States
Congress in partnership with the Government Printing Office, at the
direction of the Joint Committee on Printing under the authority of
Title 44, Section 721 of the U.S. Code.
