House, Senate, and conference committees report legislation with written analyses. This collection carries committee reports — a committee's explanation of a bill's purpose, provisions, and cost — published through the Government Publishing Office as bills advance.

Registry notes

Probed 2026-07-31 through the govinfo API: of 200 packages changed in the trailing 21 days, the newest dateIssued is 1971-01-02 — they are SERIALSET digitisation of 1970-71 committee reports, not current ones. Zero packages dated within 7 days. What changes daily in this collection is retrospective scanning, so under the §3 dating rule it would contribute nothing to a current digest.

How we ingest it

Channel

govinfo collection

Method

Would sync via the govinfo collections API delta mechanism once enabled (GUIDE §7 Phase 4).

Request budget

the govinfo class: at most 6,000 requests per day and 500 per hour, counted from the fetch log (failed requests count too); collectors stop at 85% so the end-of-day finalizer always has headroom

Politeness

keyed govinfo API access; every request is logged before it is made and identified as fapd/0.1 (Free Agentic Publication Digester; +https://fapd.info/bot.html; contact: hustleyourcity@gmail.com)

Capture and hash

captured raw content is hashed (SHA-256) into the day's committed provenance manifest, hash-chained day to day (PROVENANCE.md)
