It also includes the full text of Congressional reports and documents, Executive branch documents, bills and resolutions, hearings, the Congressional Record, CRS Reports, Statutes at Large, bill text, the Serial Set, Federal Register, and the current U.S. Code and the Code of Federal Regulations.

The Advanced Search option in ProQuest Congressional  lets you select the type of publication and date range you need. For online help to search the database in general as well as for details on each type of item in the database, check out the ProQuest Congressional Research Guide. 

Here is a video from your librarian on searching CRS (Congressional Research Service) Reports using ProQuest Congressional. The CRS works exclusively and directly for Members of Congress, their Committees and staff on a confidential, nonpartisan basis. Their reports are written at the request of members and provide good summaries of policy or background information on a matter of interest to Congress. Recent reports are also available freely at the CRS website.
