The final section of the daily Congressional Record is known as the Daily Digest., which summarizes each day’s Congressional floor activities with page number references. The Daily Digest has been a part of the Record since 1947.

The Digest includes information on roll call votes, amendments, messages from the House of Representatives or the president, as well as serving as a general table of contents for each edition of the Congressional Record.

Although the Congressional Record does not contain transcripts of committee hearings (which are published separately), the Daily Digest does summarize committee activities, and provides lists of committee meetings scheduled for that day or the next day, including the topic of the hearing and a list of witnesses.  At the end of the legislative week, usually on Friday, the Digest contains a section outlining the "Congressional Program Ahead,” with details of upcoming floor and committee schedules.
