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).

(FHLB) We owe them $3,000,000 now and have used FHLB for borrowing for several years. We have $459,600 in stock of FHLB. We are a small community bank and count on them for our liquidity. Our total assets are only about $95 million. This letter is in response to the FDIC proposed rule changes that could raise our FDIC premiums by counting FHLB advances as volatile liabilities and allow FDIC to charge a higher premium to FDIC insured banks that have significant amounts of secured liabilities. We oppose these changes. Congress chartered FHLB to provide a source of long term liquidity to FHLBank Members. The FHLB of Topeka is a stable, reliable source of funds and the availability of it are most important to us. If you adopt these changes and raise your FDIC assessments to us it would be harmful to us.

    Opinion Volume 121, Number 196 Friday, December 17, 2010 Other Viewpoints Kansas delegation gains new clout in appointments When Sen. Sam Brownback decided to keep his promise to serve only two full terms, it set off a historic chain reaction of change and fueled concern that the Kansas delegation was about to lose its clout. Four of the state’s six seats in Congress just changed hands, as the average age of the state’s House delegation dropped from 56 to 42. What a huge relief then that the state scored assignments last week for three powerful committees in the newly GOP-led House. Two-term Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, will join the House Committee on Ways and Means – only the ninth Kansan to ever sit on the tax-writing panel. As impressive, two Kansans were among the 11 fresh- men tapped for spots on prime committees: Rep.-elect Mike Pompeo, R-Wichita, for the Energy and Commerce Commit- tee and Rep.-elect Kevin Yoder, R-Overland Park, for a scaled- back Appropriations Committee. In a statement about his plum assignment, Pompeo vowed to Taste of Christmas defeats health nuts “fight to open markets for the aviation industry in Kansas, pre- serve telecommunications competition, repeal Obamacare and We had a column from Cynthia Haynes the so Christmas preparations had to wait until secure America’s energy future” – all issues of high interest other day about Christmas lights, which seem after finals were over – probably about mid- to be an important part of the holiday for her.
