Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Jennifer E. Manning Information Research Specialist Colleen J. 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). -

May 29, 2019 President David Damschen, UT Executive Committee By First Class Mail and Email ([email protected]) Duane Davidson, WA Michael Frerichs, IL Deborah Goldberg, MA Seth Magaziner, RI Catherine Hughes Steve McCoy, GA Vicki Judson Kelly MItchell, IN Beth Pearce, VT Janine Cook Tobias Read, OR Taina Edlund Department of the Treasury Executive Director Internal Revenue Service Shaun Snyder 1111 Constitution Avenue NW 701 Eighth Street, NW Room 4300 Suite 540 Washington, DC 20224 Washington, DC 20001 (202) 347-3865 Re: Proposed Regulation Comments for Section 529A ((CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG-102837- www.NAST.org 15)) To the Internal Revenue Service: The National Association of State Treasurer’s (NAST) ABLE Committee appreciates this opportunity to comment on the proposed regulations under Section 529A of the Internal Revenue Code that provide guidance regarding the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act of 2014 (the “Proposed Regulations”). We realize that the initial comment period ended on September 21, 2015; however, we understand that comments are still being accepted. With several years of collective administration of ABLE programs, states have now gained operational experience that has in turn provided insight into how the Proposed Regulations can be improved. The Problem Despite 41 states and the District of Columbia offering ABLE programs, the rate of ABLE account openings has been slow industry wide. While there are many causes for this, we believe part of the problem is that not all potential ABLE account owners have a parent, guardian, or power of attorney who can or who is willing to serve as an “authorized legal representative” and assist them in opening and maintaining an account. -

Reason Foundation Pension Reform Case Study: Rhode Island By Anthony Randazzo Executive Summary In 2011, the Rhode Island General Assembly passed a major pension-reform bill that suspended cost-of-living-adjustments for retirees, increased the retirement age and introduced a hybrid defined-benefit/defined-contribution funding system. Rhode Island has a history of underfunding its pension system. As early as 1993, the net present value of the State Employees’ pension fund represented only about 72 percent of the expected liabilities. -

r. *''^ iX. "*j. aJltiUxJ 73. ^>^tli,^^/-^—^—/ c^tio^ We of the class of 1953 have come to understand that education and knowl edge exist only in the human mind and not in books. We therefore dedicate this Norwester to the faculty of our school, who have helped us transform printed words into living ideas. Our teachers, past and present, have not only given us knowledge, but have endowed us with the true meaning and spirit of education. Page One UR MEMORIES compose a sacred, Opersonal belonging which cannot be stolen by the thief, coveted by the greedy, degraded by the intruder, destroyed by time, or weakened by use. They are stable endowments which boast complete independence. Memory is indeed an erratic faculty. It honors the important and the insig nificant; it marks both the efforts of years and the levities of seconds. As vfe grow older, each of us will derive much pleasure from the mem ories of our past lives — our families, our friends, our school, our community, and all the other innumerable compo nents of background and environment which make up our youth. The good times and the difficult times, the victories and the defeats, the hopes and the disillusionments — all will be represented. But the most wonderful element of memory consists in the fact that the happiness, the gaiety, and the triumphs remain in our minds as being the more prevalent. The darker shad ows are passed aside and the sparkling surfaces are made yet more brilliant by the strokes of time. Our youth in Arlington has been rich in memories — most of which we are not to realize and fully enjoy for some time to come. -
