    Delegates to the U.S. Congress: History and Current Status Christopher M. Davis Analyst on Congress and the Legislative Process August 25, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40555 Delegates to the U.S. Congress: History and Current Status Summary Delegates, representing territories that had not yet achieved statehood, have served in the House since the late 1700s. In the 20th century, the concept of delegate grew to include representation of territories where the United States exercises some degree of control but were not expected to become states. In the 114th Congress, the U.S. insular areas of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, and the federal municipality of the District of Columbia are each represented in Congress by a delegate to the House of Representatives. In addition, Puerto Rico is represented by a resident commissioner, whose position is treated the same as a delegate. This report provides historical background on the development of the position of delegate to Congress and on the rights of a delegate once seated. The Constitution makes no provision for territorial representation, and early laws providing for territorial delegates to Congress did not specify the duties, privileges, and obligations of these representatives. It was left to the House and the delegates themselves to define their role. On January 13, 1795, the House took an important step toward establishing the functions of delegates when it appointed James White, the first territorial representative, to membership on a select committee. In subsequent years, delegates continued to serve on select committees as well as on conference committees.

    Research Tip – Prestatehood Statutes

    Research Tip – Prestatehood Statutes I. History1 For the first 17 years after Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867, the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and Revenue Cutter Service were the governmental agencies responsible for law and justice in Alaska. It wasn’t until 1884 when the District Organic Act (First Organic Act) provided a partial government for Alaska, designating it as a “district.” The First Organic Act created a civil and judicial government and declared that the laws of Oregon would be the laws for Alaska. The Oregon codes were replaced with laws drafted specifically for Alaska with the 1899 Alaska Penal Code and the 1900 Alaska Civil Code. Several compilations of these various codes were arranged in the years following their passage. The Laws of Alaska; Embracing the Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Political Code, the Code of Civil Procedure, and the Civil Code (Carter Code), was arranged by Thomas Carter in 1900. Also completed in 1900 was Alaska Codes, Political, Civil and Civil Procedure: Approved June 6, 1900 (Boone Code) by Charles T. Boone. An additional compilation was done in 1906 by John Charlton, the Compilation of the Acts of Congress and Treaties Relating to Alaska from March 30, 1867, to March 3, 1905 (Charlton Code). The First Organic Act was problematic in that it did not create a legislature nor permit Alaskans a delegate in Congress. These issues were remedied with the 1906 Alaska Delegate Act, which allowed Alaskans to elect their first representative to Congress, and the 1912 Territorial Organic Act (Second Organic Act), which gave Alaska territorial status and created the territorial legislature, allowing for self-governance of the new territory.
  • Alaska Purchase and the Klondike Gold Rush

    Alaska Purchase and the Klondike Gold Rush

    Alaska Purchase and the Klondike Gold Rush On March 30, 1867, Secretary of State William Seward (who survived an assassination attempt the night President Lincoln was shot) agreed to buy Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million. This is the Warrant which America issued to buy the land. We learn the following information about the check, and the purchase, from the U.S. National Archives: In 1866 the Russian government offered to sell the territory of Alaska to the United States. Secretary of State William H. Seward, enthusiastic about the prospects of American Expansion, negotiated the deal for the Americans. Edouard de Stoeckl, Russian minister to the United States, negotiated for the Russians. On March 30, 1867, the two parties agreed that the United States would pay Russia $7.2 million for the territory of Alaska. For less that 2 cents an acre, the United States acquired nearly 600,000 square miles. Opponents of the Alaska Purchase persisted in calling it “Seward’s Folly” or “Seward’s Icebox” until 1896, when the great Klondike Gold Strike convinced even the harshest critics that Alaska was a valuable addition to American territory. The check for $7.2 million was made payable to the Russian Minister to the United States Edouard de Stoeckl, who negotiated the deal for the Russians. The “great Klondike Gold Strike” began on August 16, 1896 when three men found gold—ultimately, lots of gold—in Rabbit Creek near the town of Dawson (in the Yukon region of Canada). Those three men were Skookum Jim Mason and Tagish Charlie (members of Canada’s “First People”) along with George Carmack (a chap from Seattle).

    Address by Senator Strom Thurmond

    ADDRESS BY SEN;· STROM THURMOND (D-SC} ON SENATE FLOOR IN OPPOSITION TO H.R. 7999 (ALASKAN STATEHOOD), JUNE~-~-~ 1958. MR. PRESIDENT: The issue of Alaskan statehood is a complex one. It is a highly important one. It involves questions of national defense, conservation of resources, rights..and duties of States, and the setting of a precedent for admission of additional non-contiguous territories to statehood in the Union. I hope that we all will bear in mind, in considering this momentous question, the element of finality involved. Statehood once granted is irrevocable. The time to consider all aspects of the question is !!..Q!:!, for once the statehood bill becomes law, it will be too late for this body to reconsider its action and tor correct the situation by repealing its previously-enacted bill, as it can do in most other cases. In view of this finality which stares us in the face, I feel that we should all take a long and careful look before setting forth down this road of no return. We have already heard and read a great deal of background information on the subject of Alaska. We have heard eloquent and glowing descriptions of the physical grandeur of the land. We have heard much of the character of the inhabitants, both the native Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts and the newcomers who now make up a great majority of the population. We have heard detailed reports of the economic situation in Alaska. We have been given an abundance of statistics and figures of every sort. In short, we have been provided more than generously with background information, piled high, pressed down, still running over.
  • Interest of Amici Curiae Amici Are Members of the Guam Legislature

    Interest of Amici Curiae Amici Are Members of the Guam Legislature

    Interest of Amici Curiae Amici are members of the Guam Legislature with a longstanding commitment to promoting territorial self-government. As legislators, Amici worked for establishment of the Guam Supreme Court and to assure that it enjoys the authority and autonomy necessary for it to assume its intended role. Although this appeal arises from the prosecution of a single individual for violation of a local criminal statute, its potential implications for the People and institutions of the United States Territory of Guam are broad. Amici are concerned that if the position of Petitioner, the Guam Attorney General, is sustained, Guam’s Supreme Court – the establishment of which culminated more than two decades of local political struggle and debate – could be relegated to a subsidiary role in interpreting Guam’s fundamental charter, the Organic Act, and protection for the individual rights enjoyed by U.S. citizens residing in Guam (unlike that for citizens living in the 50 States), frozen at the minimum level established in U.S. Supreme Court decisions construing the federal Constitution. Amici respectfully submit that neither the Organic Act nor this Court’s case law sanctions so unfortunate a result – and that consideration of the legal issues presented in light of Guam’s distinct historical experience establishes the correctness of the Supreme Court’s decision. -1- RELEVANT BACKGROUND 1. Historical Context. For the four centuries before it was ceded to the U.S. in settlement of the Spanish-American War, the Island of Guam was under Spanish rule. Though that nation’s initial colonial presence was minimal, the 1668 arrival of Jesuit missionaries marked a decisive point in Guam’s history.

    The Alaska Statehood Act Does Not Guarantee Alaska Ninety Percent of the Revenue from Mineral Leases on Federal Lands in Alaska

    COMMENTS The Alaska Statehood Act Does Not Guarantee Alaska Ninety Percent of the Revenue from Mineral Leases on Federal Lands in Alaska Ivan L. Ascott" I. INTRODUCTION Alaska is the largest state in the Union.1 At over 365 million acres, it is one-fifth as large as the contiguous forty-eight states.2 Alaska also has a proportionately large share of federal land within its borders.3 The U.S. government owns 220.8 million acres in Alaska, which is over sixty percent of the land in the state.4 It is significant for Alaska that such a large amount of the state's land is under federal control because Alaska's economy depends on natural resource use. In particular, oil fuels the state's economic engine and contributes about eighty percent of the tax revenues for state government.' Alaskan oil is also important to the rest of the country because it accounts for about fifteen percent of domestic production.6 The most likely, and perhaps last, site for development of a major new oilfield in Alaska is in the coastal plain of the Arctic * J.D. cum laude 2004, Seattle University School of Law.

WASHINGTON. D ^ PREFACE Alaska is the largest of the fifty states in size, yet has fewer people living there than reside in Rhode Island, the smallest state. It is a land of mystery and stark con­ trasts and for all practical purposes is as much an island as is the State of Hawaii. Alaska lies mostly above the 60th parallel where the massive North American and Asian continents nearly touch each other before they flow apart to edge the widening expanses of the Pacific Ocean. No railroad connects the forty-ninth state with the "Lower 48." The Alaska Highway, still an unimproved clay and gravel surfaced country road, cannot be considered an adequate surface artery connecting Alaskan communities either with their Canadian neighbors or other American communities. Sea transportation, augmented by air transportation, remains the primary method of commerce. It is estimated that about 99 per cent of the state's imports and exports are water- transported, leaving only one per cent to be shipped by air or over the Alaska Highway.
