From the Senate website: " The United States Catalogue of Graphic Art marks the first comprehensive publication of the approximately 1 000 prints that constitute the Senate's collection. Offering a variety of perspectives on the Senate of the 19th and 20th centuries the prints provide insight into a time quite different than the media-saturated world of today. While politics was a major topic in the post-Revolutionary War press limitations in printing technology meant that engravings or other visuals were uncommon. Thus most people formed their views of the new government through written or oral sources. However in 1839 with the introduction of the daguerreotype the country was familiarized with the faces of notable senators such as Henry Clay Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun. By the early 1850s further innovation in engraving procedures enabled publishers to create engravings in hours rather than days or weeks. At the same time the growth of railroads and improvements in roads allowed for relatively rapid distribution of illustrated magazines such as Harper's Weekly The Graphic Puck and Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper and for the first time readers could "see" an event within a week and later within days of it happening. Like the print and broadcast media of today these illustrated news magazines included both hard news and softer features and the graphic art catalogue reflects this coverage mix. The catalogue includes prints depicting important events of the day such as the debate over slavery the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson and presidential inaugurations. But also featured are prints capturing the daily rhythms of the Senate such as the crowded Capitol corridors Senate pages delivering documents lobbyist pleading their case meals in the Senate dining room and idyllic scenes of the Capitol building and grounds. The catalogue is organized into eight thematic chapters: Senate Chamber Capitol Interior Capitol Exterior & Grounds Senate Art Portraits Group Portraits Beyond Capitol Hill and Political Cartoons & Caricatures. Detailed information is given for each print including title creator date of publication printing technique and dimensions. In addition accompanying approximately 30 prints are short essays giving background and context for the scene people or events depicted in the illustration. For the chapter on political cartoons which includes the work of such notable artists as Thomas Nast and Joseph Keppler there is an introductory essay as well as brief commentaries on 15 cartoons. This catalogue will undoubtably become a valuable resource for anyone wanting to learn more about the history of the Senate the Capitol and American political history."

Among the witnesses were: Roger Egeberg Joseph Hennessey Clarence Larson James Ramey representatives of the Federal Radiation Council and John Totter then Director of the Biomedical Division of the Atomic Energy Commission. Radiation protection also known as radiological protection is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA as "The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation and the means for achieving this". Exposure can be from a source of radiation external to the human body or due to internal irradiation caused by the ingestion of radioactive contamination. Ionizing radiation is widely used in industry and medicine and can present a significant health hazard by causing microscopic damage to living tissue. There are two main categories of ionizing radiation health effects. At high exposures it can cause "tissue" effects also called "deterministic" effects due the certainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit gray and resulting in acute radiation syndrome. For low level exposures there can be statistically elevated risks of radiation-induced cancer called "stochastic effects" due to the uncertainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit sievert. Fundamental to radiation protection is the avoidance or reduction of dose using the simple protective measures of time distance and shielding. The duration of exposure should be limited to that necessary the distance from the source of radiation should be maximized and the source shielded wherever possible. To measure personal dose uptake in occupational or emergency exposure for external radiation personal dosimeters are used and for internal dose to due to ingestion of radioactive contamination bioassay techniques are applied. For radiation protection and dosimetry assessment the International Commission on Radiation Protection ICRP and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements ICRU publish recommendations and data which is used to calculate the biological effects on the human body of certain levels of radiation and thereby advise acceptable dose uptake limits.

When this hearing was held the United States had exported nuclear materials equipment and technologies to the member states of the European Atomic Energy Community known as EURATOM for more than 35 years. This cooperation had been governed by an agreement for cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy which was first concluded in 1958 and had been amended several times. An agreement was reached to replace the agreement with a new one which was approved by the General Affairs Council of the European Union and by President Clinton. The Senate hearing was to consider the content and merits of the new agreement. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
