Under rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives and section 136 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, the Com- mittee on International Relations is authorized to exercise contin- uous surveillance of the execution by the executive branch of laws within the committee’s jurisdiction. The review of ‘‘oversight’’ ac- tivities of the Committee on International Relations was aug- mented by the adoption of section 118 of the Legislative Reorga- nization Act of 1970 (Public Law 91–150), as amended by Public Law 92–136. This provision requires standing committees of the House and the Senate after January 1, 1973, to make reports to their respective Houses on their activities in reviewing and study- ing the ‘‘application, administration, and execution of those laws or parts of laws, the subject of which is within the jurisdiction of that committee.’’ House committees are required to file such reports ‘‘not later than January 2 of each odd-numbered year.’’ It is in fulfillment of the obligation of the Committee on International Relations to ac- count to the House for its legislative review activities during the 109th Congress that this report has been prepared and submitted. The report was prepared by Laura L. Rush, Legislative Coordi- nator for the Committee.

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).
