The information located when you do legislative history research is usually meant to persuade a court that a particular interpretation of a statute is correct. In addition to the facts you have found, you may need to find persuasive legal authority. There is a body of case law that has been developed for interpreting legislative intent. Here are several useful places to look:
Statutes and Statutory Construction by Norman J. Singer
LAW STACKS 2nd floor KF 425 .S8 2007 (available on Westlaw)
Statutory Interpretation: The Search for Legislative Intent by Ronald Benton Brown and Sharon Jacobs Brown
LAW STACKS 2nd floor KF 425 .B76 2012
