  • 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.

The Coalition to Stop Opioid Overdose is a coalition of diverse organizations representing health care and social service professionals and advocates united around common policy goals that will lead to meaningful and comprehensive policies to reduce opioid overdose deaths through prevention, treatment and recovery support services. In the face of the opioid overdose and suicide epidemics, equitable access to a full continuum of mental health and substance use disorder treatment services, including medications to treat addiction and mental illness, must be an essential component of health care coverage. It is also critical that addiction and mental illness be covered on par with other medical conditions, by ensuring full implementation of parity and patient safeguards consistent with the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, and extensions of this law and expanded coverage provided under the Affordable Care Act.

Behavioral Research without The president has proposed a fiscal 1986 budget that includes decreases from the fiscal 1985 appropriations of $297 million (6 percent) for the NIH and $3.6 million (1 percent) for the research portion of the ADAMHA budget. The levels of funding reproduced proposed threaten, perhaps as never before, the integrity and stability of this be nation's commitment to biomedical research. It is imperative, therefore, that to scientists speak out in favor of a more appropriate investment in biomedical research. Not As in previous years, an ad hoc group of staff from a number of key organizations, including the AAMC, have prepared an alternate budget for NIH and ADAMHA. For NIH proposes $5.701 billion ($552 million over the fiscal 1985 appropriation). AAMC the group For ADAMHA, the group proposes $499-million ($107 million over the fisCal 1985 the appropriation). These alternate budget proposals intentionally avoid specific of prescriptions for distribution of funds by institute or by program within institutes. Instead, this proposal outlines in the broadest possible terms the distribution of this amount among the major support mechanisms (e.g., project grants, center grants, contracts, research training, intramural research).
