Also included is a guide to further sources of information on internships, fellowships, and summer jobs. This guide can be used to locate additional work experiences, both inside and outside the federal government. The publications listed may be purchased, or they may be available for consultation in local libraries or high school or college guidance offices. Altho CRS-2 The duties, responsibilities, and salaries (if any) of interns varies from office to office. Some interns are given routine office tasks as clerks or messengers, while those in other offices may do legislative research.Although the terms “fellowship” and “internship” are sometimes used interchangeably in the names of specific programs, this report differentiates between fellowship and internship work experiences in the federal government. Fellowships generally are intended for persons with advanced degrees or substantial professional experience, and are usually salaried positions lasting 9 months to a year or more. Internships, which are either salaried or volunteer short-term arrangements, usually require relatively little experience and are often filled by students. In addition, some programs which are called internships do not actually place persons in federal jobs; any such programs described below are distinguished from internship programs which provide federal work experience. Applying for an internship or fellowship is similar to applying for admission to a college or university. Check directories to see what programs are available (see the “Bibliography” section beginning on p.9); decide what type of internship or fellowship might be of interest; then write or telephone the sponsor for additional information and an application form. Because competition is stiff in many internship and fellowship programs, with applicants often greatly exceeding the number of positions available, it is generally worthwhile to apply to more than one program. Congressional Internships Congressional internships are available both through Members of Congress and private organizations, and they are extremely competitive. Members of the House of Representatives, the Senate, congressional committees, and other congressional groups such as caucuses and study groups may appoint a person to the regular staff and designate that person as an intern, or volunteers may be designated as interns. The duties, responsibilities, and salaries (if any) of interns varies from office to office. Some interns are given routine office positions as clerks or messengers, while those in other offices may conduct legislative research. CRS-2 LBJ (Lyndon B. Johnson) Congressional Intern Program In 1973, House Resolution 420 authorized the designation of the term “LBJ Congressional Intern,” and authorized each Representative to hire up to two LBJ interns per year. However, it did not require Representatives to use this title when hiring interns. In May 1994, the program was suspended due to reductions in legislative branch employment levels. However, Representatives can still sponsor unpaid interns who work on a voluntary basis. Volunteers are not counted on the House payroll and do not contribute to overall employment levels. Some Members may pay interns out of their regular office budgets. This option is only possible if a Member has not already reached the limit of 22 staffers and has funds available. Other Internships in Member Offices Internships are available in many Member offices. Descriptions of some of these opportunities are found in the publication entitled Internships in Congress (see the “Bibliography” section beginning on p. 9). Application for an internship in a specific Member’s office should be made through the individual Senator or Representative. Members of Congress mayshould be addressed as follows: Honorable __________ Honorable __________ United States Senate House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20515 TelephoneTel: (202) 224-3121 (ask for Member) Inquiries may also be addressed to congressional district offices. These addresses can be located through standard reference sources such as the Congressional Directory. This publication is available in many libraries and at the following Internet address: [http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/browse-cd-99.html]. Internships in Congressional Committees and Organizations Application for an internship with a congressional committee, an informal congressional organization, or a legislative party organization should be made to the committeebody or to individual Members of the committee or organization. Congressional committees and organizations are addressed as follows: [Name of committee, etc.] United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 [Name of committee, etc.] United States Senate House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Telephone20510 Washington, D.C. 20515 Tel: (202) 224-3121 (ask for committee or organization) CRS-3 Several congressional committees and caucuses which have longstanding intern programs are listed below. CRS-3 House Committee on the Budget House Democratic Caucus House Republican Policy Committee Republican Policy Committee (Senate) Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee Other congressional bodies may also provide internship opportunities. Congressional committees and organizations in a wide variety of subject areas can be identified in such reference sources as the Congressional Directory (Washington, GPO); the Congressional Staff Directory (Alexandria, VA, CQ Staff Directories),; the Congressional Yellow Book (Washington, Leadership Directories),; and the Washington Information Directory (Washington, Congressional Quarterly). For information on congressional caucuses, study groups, and other informal congressional organizations, the Congressional Yellow Book is a particularly useful source. One or more of these reference works can be consulted in many local public or research libraries. Congressional Internships Offered by Universities and Private Organizations In addition to internships available directly from Members and congressional of Congress and congressional committees, various universities and private organizations offer programs which place interns in congressional offices. Some of these programs also place interns in other federal government agencies. Students should check with their own colleges and universities to see if they operate congressional intern programs. School placement offices can be useful sources of such listings, along with electronic bulletin boards or sites on the World Wide Web. Internships in Congressional Support Agencies The three congressional support agencies listed below also offer internships. Interns are not placed in congressional offices but instead work in these organizations, which provide research support and information to the Congress. Congressional Budget Office Note: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) provides Congress with budget-related budgetrelated information and explains possible budget ramifications of proposed legislation. Contact: legislation. College students and recent college graduates can apply for paid 10-week summer internships in which they would work on analyses in CBO’s various divisions.

Many federal agencies hire seasonal employees for the summer months. Those seeking such jobs should realize that hiring in federal agencies is decentralized, which means that each federal agency generally hires staff through its own personnel office. Candidates should identify agencies appropriate to their interests by using standard reference directories, and apply directly by contacting the appropriate personnel offices. Students working toward undergraduate or graduate degrees, technical school certificates, or high school diplomas are eligible for the Student Temporary Employment Program, with appointments that last up to 1one year. Another possibility for student employment is the Student Career Experience Program, which may qualify its candidates for conversion to a federal career or career-conditional appointment. Students Students interested in either program should contact their school guidance or placement offices for further information; acceptance in both programs is arranged through the high schools and colleges themselves. Further information on these programs is provided in in the publication entitled Earn and Learn (see the “Bibliography” section beginning on p. 9). Other established internship programs within the federal government can be identified through the use of publications listed in the bibliography. However, opportunities also exist for persons to “create” individual internships by contacting relevant federal offices and inquiring about internship possibilities. Addresses and telephone numbers of government departments and agencies and information about them appear in the United States Government Manual (Washington, GPO). This publication is available in many libraries and at the following Internet address: [http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/nara001browse-gm-99.html]. Other useful resources include the Washington Information Directory (Washington, Congressional Quarterly); the Federal Yellow Book (Washington, Leadership Leadership Directories); the Federal Staff Directory and the Judicial Staff Directory CRS-5 (Alexandria, VA, CQ Staff Directories); and Carroll’s Federal Directory and Carroll’s Federal CRS-5 Regional Directory (Washington, Carroll Publishing Co.). The detailed subject and keyword indexes in these publications facilitate the identification of federal government offices in specific subject fields and professions. One or more of the publications can often be consulted in larger libraries. Persons interested in setting up internships should contact the relevant federal offices directly. Fellowships in the Federal Government The following selected programs place fellowship recipients, generally for 1-year terms, in congressional offices, federal agencies, or the Supreme Court of the United States. Congressional programs predominate in the listing; placement is in Member or or committee offices unless otherwise noted. One may also wish to contact individual federal agencies to inquire about additional fellowship programs. The resources detailed in the previous section can be used to identify relevant federal offices.
