e House Report was written later than the Senate Report, and in many
cases it adopted the language of the Senate Report, updating it and
conforming it to the version of the bill that was finally enacted into
law. Thus, where the differences between the two Reports are relatively
minor, or where the discussion in the House Report appears to have
superseded the discussion of the same point in the Senate Report, we
have used the House Report as the source of our documentation. In other
cases we have included excerpts from both discussions in an effort to
present the legislative history as fully and fairly as possible. Anyone
making a thorough study of the Act of 1976 as it affects librarians and
educators should not, of course, rely exclusively on the excerpts
reprinted here but should go back to the primary documentary sources.
