The rules of the House of Representatives (House Rule X) establish its standing committees as
Senior Research Librarian
permanent legislative panels. Pursuant to this legislative authority, standing committees consider

bills and resolutions and recommend measures for consideration by the full chamber. The
standing committee chair is the leader of the committee majority and the ranking member

represents the minority.
This report lists House standing committees’ chairs and ranking members from the 104th Congress (1995-1996) to the 117th
Congress (2021-2022). These House committees include Agriculture; Appropriations; Armed Services; Budget; Education

Judiciary; Natural Resources; Oversight and Reform; Rules; Science, Space, and Technology; Small Business;
Transportation and Infrastructure; Veterans’ Affairs; Ways and Means; and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
This report also includes an appendix listing relevant House resolutions assigning chairs and ranking members to committees,
and it notes committee leadership changes that occurred within a Congress.
