The United States Congressional Serial Set, simply called the Serial Set, is labeled Historical Full-Text in LexisNexis Congressional.

Monthly updates are provided and full coverage from 1789-1969 will be available by the end of December 2005. The CIS Index, 1970 to present, indexes congressional information including committee hearings, reports and prints, legislative histories, and other material. Congressional Indexes, 1789-1969, does the same for earlier material. Lexis Nexis Congressional also offers full-text of congressional bills, testimony, reports, documents, selected prints, and the Congressional Record for recent years, as well as the U.S. Code, the Federal Register, and the Code of Federal Regulations. It also covers a wide variety of additional congressional information, including member biographical and committee assignment information, voting records, and financial data.
