Congressional Record: Proceedings and Debates of the 90th Congress, First Session -- Vol. 113, No. 149
Washington, DC, [U.S. Government Printing Office], 1967. (Vol. 113, No. 149). Small 4to. Self cover. (Ca. 200pp). Very good. Moderately, evenly age toned as usual; several small, quite minor edge tears. You can't get more detailed than these in-depth proceedings of one day in the life of the Senate and House -- which are surprisingly difficult to find in tight, attractive condition such as this, for they're printed on low-quality comic book-type stock that turns brittle and browns. This particular issue is in unusually fresh shape. .
