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. -

State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at the End of the Century
CHAPTER XVIII. THE PERIOD FRO)[ 181S TO 1880. The Republicans tried conclusions with their opponents again in 1812, but the people of the state, especially those who had shipping and commercial interests, were great Bufferers from the embargo and nOD intercourse policy of Madison's administration, and were alarmed at ihe prospect of war with Great Britain.1 At a large meeting of young men, held in the state house in Providence, just before election, strong resolutions were passed, denouncing the approaching war, and recom mending the support of the Federalist ticket. The latter won by an increased majority. At the May session a joint committee of the general assembly was appointed to voice the latter's sentiments regard ing public affairs, to draw up a statement concerning the exposed con dition of the coast, and to recommend instrnctions to Rhode Island me~bers of Congress. In accordance with the report of this commit tee, the IUllembly adopted a resolution, opposing a declaration of war against Great Britain, and requested the senators of the state in Congress to endeavor to secure the removal of restrictions on com merce. At the July session a council of war of six leading citizens of the state was elected to confer with and advise Governor Jones. A petition, adopted at a meeting of freeholders in Providence, and pre sented at the October SessiOD, prayed for the enactment of a law for bidding the "Cdistillation of grain into spiritnous liquors". The house negatived the proposition by a decisive vote, but Speaker ~{8S0n, of Providence, who seems to have been largely interested in a distillery, was declared by a Republican newspaper to have indignantly asked if ~riod, to this see 8. -
