The Congressional Record is not intended to be a record of the details of national events, but simply how Congress responded to those events, in the form of resolutions, speeches, etc.
I suspect the national security archives will have details on the entire operation when it become declassified 50 or 100 years from now.
As Dana noted, historians rely on a variety of documents and sources.
As one of those sources, the Record is unique in offering the unedited words and actions of Congress.
