What year is Katzenbach v. McClung cited as in the short form?

In a short-form case citation, you still identify the decision by the year it was issued. Katzenbach v. McClung is the Supreme Court case with the canonical citation 379 U.S. 294, decided in 1964. When you present the short form, you include the year to signal which decision you’re referencing, typically appearing as Katzenbach v. McClung, 379 U.S. 294 (1964). That (1964) confirms the exact year of the ruling, which is why the correct year shown in the short form is 1964.
