Earlier this month, Andrew shared the update to our committee schedule page, which launched in January 2019.

With this month’s second release, we have enhanced the navigation of member profile pages.  When viewing a bill or resolution on a member profile page, you can use the navigation arrows to move from the next or previous item in the list without having to return to the profile page.

Previous and next navigation buttons added to Member Profile pages

Search Tip

The Congress.gov Search Tip for this release is a reminder of how to edit highlighting in Search Results:

How to Remove Highlighting from a Search Result

When viewing search results on Congress.gov, highlighted search terms can be very helpful in understanding why a particular item was retrieved.  But what if you need a clean copy without the  highlighting?  Simply edit the URL to remove the search portion and the highlighting will be gone. Look for ?q and delete it along with all characters that follow.
