About the author

In library and publishing records, United States. Congress is treated as a corporate author — meaning the work is credited to the institution instead of to one individual. That label is commonly used for official publications produced by Congress, including hearings, committee reports, bills, and other records.

Because this is an institution and not a single human author, there is no personal life story, literary career, or individual portrait to include. The name simply points to the legislative branch of the federal government as the body responsible for the work.
