Earlier this month, Robert shared the update that included the addition of a link to Bills to be Considered on the House Floor to the House of Representatives section of Current Legislative Activities on the Congress.gov homepage.
With the release we also added a subcommittee filter on the committee profile pages when you select a Congress. What are the enhancements for this month?

Search Tip
Earlier this year, Robert shared this tip on how to receive an email when a Member of Congress has a new remark printed in the Congressional Record:
Congress.gov alerts are emails sent to you when a measure (bill or resolution), nomination, or member profile has been updated with new information. You can also receive an email after a Member has new remarks printed in the Congressional Record. Here are instructions on how to get an email after a Member has new remarks printed in the Congressional Record.
- Log in to your Congress.gov account. If you do not have an account, you can create one by clicking “sign in.”
- Scroll down and select a member profile page.
- On the right hand side, click “See this member’s remarks in the Congressional Record.”
- At the top left, click “Save this Search,” then give it any title you like, click save, and finally click “get alerts.”
