• An educated person is one who has learned that
  information almost always turns out to be at best
  incomplete and very often false, misleading,
  fictitious---just dead wrong.

2.5
Some citations for Congressional hearings may
omit the hearing number S. Hrg. Citing U.S.
government publications can be challenging
because no single standard exists
Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2
Exercise 2.5) for List of ReferencesRising
violent crime in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina . U.S. Senate, Committee on the
Judiciary. (2008). Hearing, June 20, 2007 (S.
Hrg 110-217), Washington U.S. Government
Printing Office. In text citation (Rising
violent crime, 2008)also indicate pp. numbers
if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase
29
2.5 Citing U.S. Government Publications
Additional Ugly Truths

• No absolute standard exists (although lawyers and
  law students often refer to the bluebook A
  uniform system of citation less helpful for
  those researching outside of that legal context)
• Nevertheless, wildly random approaches to
  citation formatting are NOT acceptable, even with
  Gov Pubs.
• Many government document types exist, each with
  slightly different citation formatting
  expectations (e.g., Senate House Hearings,
  Congressional Committee Reports, Federal Agency
  reports, etc.)
• The Debora Cheney reference book (below) is
  helpful, but its older publication date means it
  shall be weaker in guidance for government
  publications located online
• Additional references (In addition to PAF 101s
  MOD 2 APA Guide - for anyone seeking more
  examples for how to cite U.S. Government
  Publications) consider
• Cheney, D. (2002). The complete guide to citing
