  • 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.

Toni Rosell was elected first to the Montana House of Representatives in 1956 and served in both the Montana House and Senate. I believe you were the only woman in the '57 session. Antoinette Rosell: Fifty-seven, and I was not married then, so I was Antoinette Fraser. BB: You were Antoinette Fraser then. So Toni, what motivated you to run for the legislature? AR: To be honest with you, I always wanted to be...I read about Teddy Roosevelt for one thing. I was very inspired by him. I gave a speech when I was a junior in high school about him. I thought, "Wow that sounds like a pretty neat deal." He was out for the right, fair and all that kind of legislation. So when I got back to Billings and was here for a while and I noted that there were no women running on the Republican slate. I thought, "Well gee, maybe I'll try." So I started running really in 1954 when I first got back. I think it was '54. Of course I didn't know the ropes then.

He ran for his third term and was defeated in '26. BB: Then you served in the House from 1950 more or less to 1966. JL: Yes, '68. BB: Nineteen sixty-eight. Now, I want to ask you just some questions about your very early involvement. I realize you were just a young man in the 1920s, but a couple of prominent individuals in state history, both of whom served as governor, were involved when your dad was a legislator. Sam Ford who was Attorney General and later went on to be governor, and Joe Dixon—who had been a U.S Senator—and was governor during the time that your dad was a member of the state Senate.

    Odyssey : the Montana Centennial Train, 1964-1965 by Dennis Robert Seibel A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in History Montana State University © Copyright by Dennis Robert Seibel (1990) Abstract: Montana has never suffered from "overexposure" as it relates to publicity. In 1964, a unique effort occurred as part of the state’s territorial centennial celebration in an attempt to increase the number of visitors to the state. This paper studies that event, including the organizers, the goals, and the results of the promotion. Conclusions from this study might better direct future state promotion. Created by state boosters, the Montana Territorial Centennial Train of 1964-1965 became the focal point of the entire state’s centennial celebration. With its 16-city tour and two-season stay at the New York World’s Fair, the train provided the state with media exposure and publicity that would be felt for many years. During its early decades, Montana Territory would make the news only because it provided rich claims of gold and silver to a lucky few prospectors. Copper baron William A. Clark represented the territory at America’s first international exposition in Philadelphia in 1876. Fourteen years later, Montana made its world’s fair debut at Chicago’s Columbian Exposition. The promotion was deemed a success and world’s fairs seemed a good tool for selling the state to the outside world. In 1964, organizer Howard Kelsey wanted to promote awareness of Montana by taking the state to the people via a train loaded with 300 Montanans who would serve as ambassadors for the state.
