Shogan Deputy Director and Senior Specialist November 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30261 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Summary Ninety-four women currently serve in the 112th Congress: 77 in the House (53 Democrats and 24 Republicans) and 17 in the Senate (12 Democrats and 5 Republicans). Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

Washington, D.C. 20429 Attention: Comments Re: Deposit Insurance Assessments and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), RIN 3064-AD09 Dear Mr. Feldman: Fidelity State Bank and Trust Company, Topeka, Kansas is a stockholder and borrower from Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka. (FHLB) We owe them $3,000,000 now and have used FHLB for borrowing for several years. We have $459,600 in stock of FHLB. We are a small community bank and count on them for our liquidity. Our total assets are only about $95 million. This letter is in response to the FDIC proposed rule changes that could raise our FDIC premiums by counting FHLB advances as volatile liabilities and allow FDIC to charge a higher premium to FDIC insured banks that have significant amounts of secured liabilities. We oppose these changes. Congress chartered FHLB to provide a source of long term liquidity to FHLBank Members. The FHLB of Topeka is a stable, reliable source of funds and the availability of it are most important to us. If you adopt these changes and raise your FDIC assessments to us it would be harmful to us.
