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).

  • CIA Detention & Interrogation
    TOP SECRET tVQFORN Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Committee Study ofthe Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program Additiomal Views TOP SECRE^ [OFORN UNCLASSIFIED SENATOR ROCKEFELLER VIEWS UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Senator John D. Rockefeller IV - Additional Views The Senate Intelligence Committee's entire Study on the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program is themost in-depth and substantive oversight initiative that theCommittee has ever undertaken, and itpresents extremely valuable insights into crucial oversight questions and problems that need to be addressed at the CIA. Moreover, this Study exemplifies why this Committee was created in the first place -following the findings of the Church Committee nearly 40years ago - and I commend Chairman Feinstein . forshepherding this landmark initiative to this point. Itis my hope and expectation that beyond the initial release ofthe Executive Summary and Findings and Conclusions, the entire 6,800 page Study will eventually be made public with the appropriate redactions. Those public findings will becritical tofully learning the necessary lessons from this dark episode inour nation's history, and toensuring that this never happens again. It has been a long, hard fight to get tothis point. Especially in the early years of the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program, it was a struggle for the Committee toget the most basic information - or anyinformation at all- about theprogram. The Committee's Study ofthe Detention and Interrogation Program isnot just the story ofthe^ brutal and ill-conceived program itself. This Study is alsothestory of the breakdown in our system of governance that allowed the country to deviate, in such a significant way, from our core principles.

  • Team NZ Lead Luna Rossa in America's
    ARAB TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 2021 SPORTS 14 Team NZ lead Luna Rossa in America’s Cup Defenders move to match point AUCKLAND, New Zea- land, March 16, (AP): Match point Team New Zealand. The America’s Cup Defender beat Italian challenger Luna Rossa by 30 seconds in the only race that could be sailed Tues- day to move ahead 6-3 in the fi rst-to-seven-win series in Auckland. For the third race in a row, Team New Zealand came from behind to beat Luna Rossa, delivering a crushing blow to the morale of the Italian team which has been constantly competitive in the 36th America’s Cup match but plagued by bad luck or bad decisions. Luna Rossa led around the first four marks on the six-leg course but not by more than 9 seconds. On a day of light and shifty conditions, when the race course had to be set and re-set, Team New Zealand picked up a right shift on the last beat to snatch the lead and the race. Throughout the afternoon the breeze – sometimes full at 15 knots, at other times light and puffy at 7 knots – tracked from southwest to west and back on what is known as the Stadium Course. Course C is closest to the land of the five Cup course, overlooked by North Head and visible to traffic on Auckland’s busy Tamaki drive. SAILING The start of the second of the day’s two races was delayed as the breeze again flitted about, defying the match committee’s efforts to set a true course.

  • March 12, 2014 President Barack Obama the White House 1600
    March 12, 2014 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, We, the undersigned organizations, are writing to urge you to expedite the declassification of the report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) on the interrogation and detention practices of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The necessity of disclosing this report is underscored by indications that CIA has interfered with the Committee's work. On March 11, SSCI Chairman Dianne Feinstein confirmed reports that the CIA conducted surveillance on computers used by SSCI staff and detailed additional agency interference with the Committee’s investigation into the CIA’s rendition, detention and interrogation (RDI) program. CIA Director John Brennan subsequently denied any impropriety. The conduct Chairman Feinstein described would violate constitutional separation of powers and is deeply troubling. During a SSCI hearing in January, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) asked CIA Director John Brennan about whether the CIA was subject to the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030), which prohibits accessing government computers networks without authorization. Director Brennan later admitted that the statute does apply to the agency. Allegations of unlawful CIA surveillance of the computers used by SSCI staffers to prepare their report on the RDI program require a thorough, independent investigation. Chairman Feinstein noted that the surveillance “was followed by an allegation which we now have seen repeated anonymously in the press, that the committee staff had somehow obtained the document through unauthorized or criminal means.” She described the document as an internal agency review of interrogation practices named for former CIA Director Leon Panetta.
