		There is no question that the new directory, like the 1989 edition, will promote a richer understanding of the contributions that the men and women of Congress have made over the 200 years of national growth, challenge, and change.
		To be sure, much of the material in the biographical directory is available through the Clerk of the House Web site; but there is much that is not, such as listings of the congressional memberships by State and the multiple changes that occurred in each of those Congresses.
		The ``Biographical Directory'' is an invaluable resource to students, teachers, historians, and all citizens who are interested in the history and the personalities of this great deliberative body.

		Although Congress authorized revised editions in 1950, 1961, and 1971, the entries from the 1928 edition remained virtually intact in the three subsequent updates.
		In many cases the Biographical Directory was the only published record of former Members, and thus verification of the many standing entries based solely on family reports, oral traditions, and local histories had to be an ongoing project.
		Whereas earlier editions of the Biographical Directory and their nineteenth-century predecessors offered curiously little information on congressional careers other than terms of service, the bicentennial edition provided a more complete record of the individual members' years in office.

		Former Sen. Arthur Brown of Utah is a footnote to history -- more interesting than most, though, because a woman claiming he had fathered two of her children gunned him down in a hotel room in 1906.

		The entries in the directory's 16th edition, the first update since 1989, were written by congressional historians to provide basic information -- dates, places and positions -- rather than personal stories.
