Congressional records recount Senate and House actions from February 3 to February 6 including pension provisions for General Custer widow, surgeon expenses, and clerk hires. Amendments to appropriations bills, free coinage debates, and committee votes on diplomatic and civil appropriation measures are noted along with adjournments and remarks by several representatives.
