Washington to David Stewart on the plan for the Congressional Globe
A long excerpt from a March 1790 letter by General Washington to David Stewart outlines the Globe’s creation as an official record of Congressional debates. It explains printing the debates with newspaper speed, expanding to daily news, and offering affordable subscriptions with government advertising. It notes telegraph-informed distribution, executive department access, and a shift to a universal public record.
