  • Hi Mary -- thanks for posting to History Hub!

    The July 19, 1974 hearing Fetal Research, 1974 before the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, Subcommittee on Health is freely available online via HathiTrust, and may be a higher quality scan than the one you found via Google Books.

    The most comprehensive source for locating hearing transcripts is ProQuest Congressional, a subscription database -- you can check with a local academic library for access. Or alternatively, you can search WorldCat to find a print version of the hearing in the library closest to you.

    For more information locating hearing transcripts, the Library of Congress has put together a research guide for locating both published and unpublished congressional hearings.

    If you're interested in digging further into U.S. Senate records regarding either this hearing or the National Research Act of 1974, please email us at legislative.archives@nara.gov.

    Cheers!
