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).

  • The First Day of a New Congress: a Guide to Proceedings on the House Floor
    The First Day of a New Congress: A Guide to Proceedings on the House Floor -name redacted- Specialist on the Congress Updated December 19, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL30725 The First Day of a New Congress: A Guide to Proceedings on the House Floor Summary Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution sets a term of office of two years for all Members of the House. One House ends at the conclusion of each two-year Congress, and the newly elected Representatives must constitute a new House at the beginning of the next Congress. Consequently, the House must choose its Speaker and officers and adopt the chamber’s rules of procedure every two years. The Constitution mandates that Congress convene at noon on January 3, unless the preceding Congress by law designated a different day. P.L. 113-201 set January 6, 2015, as the convening date of the 114th Congress. Congressional leaders planned that the 115th Congress would convene January 3, 2017, and that the 116th Congress would convene January 3, 2019, obviating the need for a law to set the date. Although no officers will have been elected when the House first convenes, officers from the previous Congress perform certain functions, such as conducting the election of the Speaker. The House follows a well-established first-day routine. The proceedings include— a call to order by the Clerk of the House; a prayer led by the Chaplain and the Pledge of Allegiance led by the Clerk; a quorum call ordered by the Clerk; the election of the Speaker, ordered by the Clerk and conducted with the assistance of tellers; remarks by the Speaker-elect, followed by his or her swearing-in by the dean of the House; the oath of office for the newly elected and re-elected Members, administered by the Speaker; adoption of the rules of the House for the new Congress; adoption of various administrative resolutions and unanimous consent agreements; and announcement of the Speaker’s policies on certain floor practices.

    Chamber Goes to Washington By Rebecca Patrick ore than 75 of the state’s business leaders converged on the nation’s capital to talk federal policy with their congressional representatives at the Indiana Chamber’s annual D.C. Fly-in. At a time when Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, Supreme Court nominations and appropriations bills were capturing the bulk of Congress’ attention, the Chamber’s contingent emphasized the business concerns that can’t afford to Mget lost in the shuffle. Topping that list are asbestos litigation reform, permanent repeal of the estate tax and Social Security/pension reform. The featured segment of the two-day event was the roundtable discussion moderated by Gerry Dick of Inside INdiana Business. Six House members (Pete Visclosky, Chris Chocola, Mark Souder, Mike Pence, Julia Carson and Mike Sodrel) and Sen. Richard Lugar participated. Following several floor votes, representatives Steve Buyer and Dan Burton joined the group at dinner. Day two kicked off with briefings by Al Hubbard, assistant to the president for economic policy and director of the National Economic Council, and Dan Coats, former U.S. senator from Indiana who later served as U.S. ambassador to Germany. Capping the proceedings were visits to the congressional offices – highlighted by a discussion with Sen. Evan Bayh and his policy staff. Rolls-Royce North America was the event’s dinner sponsor, with additional sponsorship from the Build Indiana Council, Clarian Health Partners, Inc., Dow AgroSciences, Indiana Statewide Assn./REMC, Indianapolis Power & Light Company and Ogletree Deakins. Below are highlights from the roundtable discussion: The Chamber takes Indiana business leaders to Washington each September to discuss key Prospects of asbestos litigation reform this year federal issues.

  • New Jersey: Jon Corzine (D) (Open Seat)
    EMBARGOED UNTIL OCTOBER 5, 2000 Contact: Travis Plunkett (202) 387-6121 CONSUMER FEDERATION OF AMERICA PAC ENDORSES CONGRESSIONAL CHALLENGERS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Consumer Federation of America PAC today announced its political action committee’s endorsement of non-incumbent candidates for the 2000 House and Senate races. The candidates--4 in the Senate and 19 in the House of Representatives--were chosen from open seat races and challengers to those incumbents with poor consumer voting records. “After reviewing positions of these candidates, CFA PAC is confident that they will defend the consumer interest if elected,” said Travis Plunkett, CFA’s Legislative Director. Endorsements of challengers and candidates in open races are based on an evaluation of responses to a candidate questionnaire. For challengers, CFA PAC also considers the consumer voting record of the incumbent they are challenging. CFA evaluates the challenger’s voting record if the challenger has served in the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate. “Consumer issues have taken center stage in Washington. In poll after poll, Americans rank consumer issues among their top concerns. These candidates have expressed strong pro-consumer views on issues such as personal privacy, product and food safety, managed care patient protections, and predatory lending. We support their candidacy,” he concluded. (See attached list of key consumer issues to date during the 106th Congress.) * * * 2000 CHALLENGERS AND OPEN RACES Senate New Jersey: Jon Corzine (D) (Open Seat) Pennsylvania:

  • George Armstrong Custer American Hero Or Just a Fool?
    AMERICAN CIVIL WAR ROUND TABLE OF AUSTRALIA (NEW SOUTH WALES CHAPTER) GEORGE ARMSTRONG CUSTER AMERICAN HERO OR JUST A FOOL? APRIL 2004 My interest in George Armstrong Custer was first awakened when, as an eight-year-old boy in 1942, my then future brother-in-law took me to the movies to see Santa Fe Trail and They Died with Their Boots On. Iwas hooked! In the early 1970s when my interest in matters Civil War began to flourish, first through studying the Shenandoah Campaign as part of the Australian Army’s promotion exams and later with my early battlefield visits, this fascination of Custer continued unabated. It was always my intention to visit the Little Big Horn Battlefield in Montana where Custer met his end but it was not until 2000 that I was able to fulfil this wish. I was not disappointed! With a really knowledgeable local guide assisting me, I was able to “walk the ground”, soak up the eerie ambience of the battlefield and gain an appreciation of the battle from both sides. This paper and the associated presentation brings together observations of my Montana battlefield tour and the research that I have undertaken over the years of arguably the most controversial of 19th Century US battlefield commanders. It is my hope that those reading the paper will see clearly why Custer was such a controversial commander and be able then to make an informed judgment of his “hero” or “fool” status. Paul Kensey President of the New South Wales chapter of the American Civil War Roundtable in Australia 2 Introduction George Armstrong Custer is arguably the best known of all general officers of the US army or, rather,.

  • Custer's Last Stand Program Transcript
    Page 1 Custer's Last Stand Program Transcript Narrator: The news flashed across telegraph wires on July 6th, 1876. George Armstrong Custer and 261 members of his 7th Cavalry had been massacred by Cheyenne and Lakota warriors, near a river called the Little Bighorn, in Montana Territory. There were no survivors. Nathaniel Philbrick, Author, The Last Stand: This was a thunderbolt. The West was won, how could this happen? It's like the sinking of the unsinkable Titanic, you know, it just doesn't compute. Narrator: All across the nation -- in big cities and small towns, word of Custer's death was greeted with stunned disbelief. Richard Slotkin, Historian: It's shocking; it's astonishing. It's not the way the script was written. It was not supposed to end that way. Narrator: In Philadelphia, at the Centennial International Exhibition, an exuberant celebration of America's 100th birthday, was in full swing. As they marked their first century, Americans were in an expansive and optimistic mood. The nation had survived the Civil War, built a railroad across the continent, and was settling the vast spaces of the interior. Richard Slotkin, Historian: It's two days after the happy birthday of America. A century of incredible progress and achievement has just been celebrated. And then comes news that Custer, this representative of the victorious military of the Civil War, of railroad building, of pushing back the frontier has been wiped out by a bunch of savages. Nathaniel Philbrick, Author, The Last Stand: He embodied so much of America. And, and not just our good impulses, but very many of our worst impulses.
