	United States, Barenblatt v. United States (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Hence, he was convicted in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for violating 2 USC 192, dealing with contempt of Congress and congressional committees.
		An authorization to a congressional committee cannot be construed narrowly in order to avoid constitutional issues where the authorization is not one which--because Congress put no gloss upon it at the time of its passage--has to speak for itself, nor one where the subsequent history of the authorization has the infirmity of self-serving declarations.
		However, broad as the congressional power of inquiry is, it is not without limitations; Congress may only investigate into those areas in which it may potentially legislate or appropriate, and cannot inquire into matters which are within the exclusive province of another branch of the government.
