CD3042.S46U54 1989 328.73'071 88-36037 mar FOREWORD When the Senate of the First Congress adjourned itsinitial session on September 29, 1789, Secretary of the Senate Samuel A. Otis took custody of its permanently valuable records for safekeeping. A quarter century later, as hostile British armies advanced on Washington, a quick-thinking clerk in the Secretary of the Senate's office commandeered a wagon and evacuated the Senate records to the safety of the Virginia countryside. His fast action saved those priceless documents from the conflagration that swept the Capitol Building on August 24, 1814. In the decades that followed, successive Secretaries assisted with the transfer of noncurrent records to the Capitol's attic and basement storerooms. Over the years the combined forces of war, vermin, moisture, and souvenir hunters took their toll on these unique documentary resources. In 1927, a young clerk in the Secretary's office went to a storeroom in search of some older files. As he cautiously opened the door, he saw papers stacked in boxes and strewn on the floor. He looked down to see that he was standing on an official-looking document. He later recounted that the document bore two very important markings: "The print of my rubber heel and the signature of Vice President John C. Calhoun." Said the clerk, "I knew who Calhoun was; and I knew the nation's documents shouldn't be treated like that." Thus began a search and salvage operation that brought together in one place several thousa 1 feet of the Senate's historical records. Yet, the storage environment in the Capitol remained unsuitable. In 1936, Senate officials looked with interest at the facilities of the newly opened National Archives building. Early the following year, an Archives' appraiser examined the Senate collection and found that many records were dirty, water-damaged and brittle. In spite of their poor condition, the examiner concluded: "From the standpoint of historical as well as intrinsic interest, this is perhaps the most valuable collection of records in the entire Government. It touches all phases of governmental activity, and contains a vast amount of research material that has never been used." On the strength of that report, the Senate agreed in March 1937 to send these records, amounting to 3,600 cubic feet, to the National Archives for proper care. In 1946, Congress included in a major legislative reform statute a provision that "The Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, acting jointly, shall obtain at the close of each Congress all the noncurrent records of the Congress and of each congressional committee" for transfer to the National Archives. Subsequently, the Senate incorporated into Rule XI of its Standing Rules the portion of that statute relating to Senate records. In 1950 the National Archives published a "Preliminary Inventory" of its Senate holdings. By then they had grown to 6,558 cubic feet, covering the period 1789 through August 2, 1946. Significantly, the inventory's terminal date coincid- ed with an event that marked what we would today consider as the start of the modern congressional era. On August 2, 1946, President Harry Truman signed the Legislative Reorganization Act. That landmark statute streamlined Congress' institutional structure and provided much-needed professional staff expertise. In the years ahead, these actions would significantly increase the volume and quality of Senate records. % In 1982 a special Senate Study Group, charged with planning activitiesto commemorate the Senate's 1989 bicentennial, recommended publication ofa greatly expanded and updated guide to noncurrent permanent Senate recordsat the National Archives. By then the Senate's records exceeded 20,000 cubic feet. The panel's final report concluded: "Dating from 1789, these materialsare fundamental sources for the study and understanding of the Senate's history and role in the legislative process and of the general history of the American people. They are a 'uasic component in the Senate's institutional memory." Since 1983, the National Archives has accordeda high priority to the preparation of this Guide. Special acknowledgment is dueto the leadership of former Archivist of the United States Robert M. Warner. Asa member of the Senate Bicentennial Study Group, he provided the institutionalresources and creative support necessary to transform this project from proposalto reality. Additional thanks go to his successors, Dr. Frank G. Burke and Don W. Wilson, and to R. Michael McReynolds, director of the National Archives' Center for Legislative Archives. Within that Center, I particularly wish to commend the valued contributions of Robert Coren, David Kepley, George Perros, Mary Rephlo, Edward Schamel, and Charles South. As a major component of the Senate's Bicentennial commemoration, this Guide is intended to serve as a companion to the Guide to Records of the United States House of Representatives at the National Archives and tworecent Senate publications prepared in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate. Theyare the Records Management Handbook for United States Senate Committees (Sen. Pub. 100-5, 1988) and the Guide to Research Collections of Former United States Senators, 1789.1982 (Sen. Doc. 97.41, 1983). These publications and corresponding archival effortsare meant to facilitate greater research into the history of the Senate and to preserve more systematical- ly the records of the modern Senate. Weare determined to leave for future generations even richer documentary resources that thosewe inherited from the two centuries of legislative records-keeping

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
