  • Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012
    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).

  • Federal Charters for Insurers
    PIA National opposes federal charters and the dual regulatory system they would require. Issue-at-a-glance: Federal charters for insurers. PROFESSIONAL • PIA opposes a federal-chartering system for insurers, even an optional one. INSURANCE • PIA is working for continuing reform of functional state regulation through creation and AGENTS adoption of federal standards. • PIA supports the “road map” approach as proposed by Rep. Michael Oxley (R-Oh.) as the basis for legislation in the House. • Creating a conflicting, competing federal-state insurance regulatory system is unneeded and 25 CHAMBERLAIN ST. counter-productive to effective oversight of the insurance industry. P. O. BOX 997 GLENMONT, NY 12077-0997 • The state-based regulatory system has been moving rapidly toward the goal of uniformity 800/424-4244 following the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the goals it set. FAX: 888/225-6935 WEB: www.piany.org What’s happening right now: The House. Some legislative activity on the issue appears likely E-MAIL: [email protected] this year. On March 14, 2004, Michael Oxley (R-Oh.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee presented a “road map to state-based insurance regulatory reform” to state insurance regulators. Oxley ruled out optional federal chartering or any type of dual insurance regulatory system, but said new federal regulations to create greater uniformity among state-level insurance marketplaces are necessary. Oxley outlined the plan in an address to the NAIC’s spring meeting. His plan would set up a Federal-State Advisory Council to coordinate future discussions over insurance tax policy and uniformity. He said the goal would be to build on the work already done by the NAIC to create a more uniform, efficient and market-based insurance regulatory system.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to lielp you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated vwth a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large dieet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
