ABSTRACT
This report compiles information on 185 informal congressional groups and Member
organizations commonly known as caucuses and identifies 75 of the groups that were
registered with the Committee on House Administration as congressional Member
organizations (CMOs) as of May 17, 1999. This report will be updated at least once during
the second session of the 106th Congress.

Informal Congressional Groups and Member Organizations,
106 Congress: An Informational Directory
th
Summary
Informal congressional groups and Member organizations are voluntary alliances
of Members of Congress that operate without direct recognition in chamber rules or
line item appropriations (unlike formal leadership and party groups). These informal
groups and Member organizations often are collectively referred to as caucuses.
Some groups have chosen terms such as coalition, ad hoc task force or working
group in naming themselves.
At least 185 informal groups and congressional Member organizations are
operating in the 106 Congress. Of those 185 groups, 75 were registered with the
th
Committee on House Administration as congressional Member organizations as of
May 17, 1999. In the House of Representatives, the term congressional Member
organization (CMO) refers to House and bicameral informal groups that meet the
description and the registration requirements in regulations adopted by the Committee
on House Administration on June 22, 1999. These regulations became effective
August 1, 1999. Registration as a CMO is required for any organization of House
Members who join together to formally share official resources in pursuit of common
legislative objectives. The Senate has no comparable registration requirement for its
informal groups.
This report lists the following data for each group: chair, president, sponsor(s)
or coordinator(s) (as appropriate); key staffer(s); telephone number(s); approximate
number of members (if available); and year organized.
Questions regarding the status, operations, organization, and propriety of
informal groups should be directed to the following committees: House Committee
on House Administration; House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct; Senate
Committee on Rules and Administration; and Senate Committee on Ethics.

Informal Congressional Groups and Member
Organizations, 106th Congress:
An Informational Directory
Introduction
At least 185 informal congressional groups and Member organizations are
operating in the 106 Congress.
th
Over the years, these unofficial Member alliances
1
have also been known as caucuses, coalitions, or ad hoc task forces. Of the 18
2
5
known House, Senate, and bicameral groups, 75 House and bicameral groups were
registered as congressional Member organizations, as of May 17, 1999. According
3
to staff at the Committee on House Administration, the term congressional Member
organization (CMO) refers solely to those House and bicameral informal groups
registered with the Committee. The Committee on House Administration listed the
requirements for registration as a CMO, and other provisions related to CMO

1 The non-official status and informal nature of some groups make it virtually impossible
always to know how many of them there are. Sometimes founding Members formally
announce a group’s establishment in a press release, a news article, or a newsletter, or in the
Congressional Record. A group may function for some time, however, before its existence
is known to those outside its own membership. By the same token, the abolition of a group
may not be announced or readily determined. (See the appendix.)
2 Prior to the 104th Congress (1995-1997), the terms congressional Member organizations
(CMOs), informal groups, and congressional caucuses were virtually synonymous, referring
to all informal Member groups. Currently, however, "congressional Member organization"
refers solely to an informal group which registers with the Committee on House
Administration and which meets the description and the reporting requirements set forth in the
committee’s regulations of August 1, 1999.
Formerly, informal groups could gain recognition as legislative service organizations
(LSOs), with special administrative arrangements accorded groups on that basis. On January
4, 1995, the House agreed to a provision prohibiting the establishment or continuation of
LSOs as defined and authorized in the 103 Congress (Rules of the House, H. Res. 6
rd
,
Congressional Record, daily edition, vol. 141, January 4, 1995, p. H30). Former LSOs were
allowed to convert their operations into informal groups, and they could choose to become
CMOs by registering with the Committee on House Oversight (now named Committee on
House Administration).

3 Data reflect the number of groups registered as CMOs as of May 17, 1999, but that number
is subject to frequent change. For example, based upon information obtained after May 17,
1999, from printed sources or from telephone interviews with staff, three CMOs—the
Constitution Liberty Caucus, the Narcotics Abuse and Control Caucus, and the Peace Accord
Monitoring Group—are now inactive, while another group—the New Democrat
Coalition—has become a CMO. Updated lists of CMOs may be obtained from the
Committee on House Administration.

CRS-2
funding, resources, and communications in regulations that became effective on
August 1, 1999. Under the regulations, CMOs must register with the Committee on
House Administration and they must provide the group’s name, statement of purpose,
officers, and employee(s) designated to work on issues related to the CMO. Further,
the regulations stipulate that a CMO:
! has no separate corporate or legal identity;
! is not an employing authority;
! may not be assigned separate office space;
! may not use the frank, (nor may a Member lend his or her frank to a CMO);
! may not have independent web pages; and
! may not accept goods, funds or services from private organizations or
individuals to support the CMO.4
At least 110 informal groups are not registered as CMOs. Twenty-five of these
groups are Senate entities; the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration has no
comparable recognition or registration requirement for Senate informal groups. The
remaining House and bicameral informal Member groups do not formally share
official resources in pursuit of their common legislative objectives. As such, CMO
registration is not necessary for these organizations.
How to Use This Directory
This compilation of congressional Member organizations comprises the following
four sections: six tables of information about currently active groups; one table listing
groups about which information is not available at this time; an appendix listing
groups that no longer exist or operate; and a keyword index of organizations.
Currently Active Groups
Section one comprises six annotated lists of organizations: (1) House informal
partisan groups; (2) House informal bipartisan groups; (3) Senate informal partisan
groups; (4) Senate informal bipartisan groups; (5) bicameral informal partisan groups;
and (6) bicameral informal bipartisan groups. These six lists of Member organizations
present the following information for each group:
! Name;
! Chair, president, sponsor(s), or coordinator(s) (as appropriate);
! Key staffer(s);
! Telephone number(s);
! Approximate number of members (where available); and
! Year organized.

4 Regulations adopted by the Committee on House Administration on June 22, 1999, became
effective August 1, 1999. See: Congressional Member Organizations in Members’
Congressional Handbook—1999, p. 45-46.

CRS-3
Several groups have more than one chair or sponsor. In some such instances,
the tables list the chairs and sponsors through whose offices the groups’ business is
coordinated. The organizations in each house are listed alphabetically. In the names
of organizations, words not part of the official title are in brackets to help identify the
scope or membership of the organization, or to identify the chamber from which its
members are drawn. (Words in brackets were not taken into account in the
alphabetical arrangement of the groups.) Informal groups which were registered (as
of May 17, 1999) with the House Administration Committee as congressional
Member organizations are identified in the detailed lists with the abbreviation CMO
enclosed in brackets beside their names (i.e., [CMO]).
Groups About Which Information Is Not Available
Section two (Table 7) lists groups that could not be confirmed (through
telephone interviews with staff or from available printed sources) as still operational;
nor could it be determined that these groups were defunct. The point at which
information could not be confirmed, or at which information became unavailable, is
provided.
Inoperative or Inactive Groups
The appendix identifies groups that congressional staff or published sources
described as defunct, inoperative, or inactive since 1985. It also lists the year(s)
during which each group became defunct, inactive, or inoperative.
Keyword Index
Section four is a keyword index of Member organizations. The index is designed
to help the reader locate organizations by subject matter and recognize similar or
parallel groups in the two houses of Congress. The index gives the pages that provide
information on the organizations.
Data for this compilation were obtained directly from the staffs of the various
groups, materials supplied by the groups, and from the Leadership Directories, Inc.'s,
Congressional Yellow Book.

i The Congressional Mining Caucus was reactivated in 1997 from a group that had been inoperative since 1995/96— the House Mining Caucus. The former group, which was created in 1985, had become

j Another group known as the New England Caucus had been created in 1973. It became inactive during the 100th Congress (1987-1988).

(Rep. Richard K. Armey, "Results Act," remarks in the House, Congressional Record, daily edition, vol. 143, Sept. 5, 1997, p. H6921.)
m The Sustainable Development Caucus is a group "whose goal is to educate Members about the success stories that can and do happen when citizens sit down together and collectively balance their
needs with those of the natural environment and future generations. The caucus sponsors periodic briefings and Dear Colleague letters highlighting local successes, which help Members make
policy decisions that foster and facilitate, rather than hinder, local sustainability efforts." (Congressional Yellowbook, fall 1998, vol. 24, p. 1116.)

a. These groups could not be confirmed (through telephone interviews with staff or from available printed
sources) as still operational. Usually, such confirmation could not be made because (1) the group's
primary members (i.e., its sponsors, officers, or coordinators) were no longer serving in Congress; (2)
the group's reorganizational meeting (for the current Congress) had not yet been held; (3) the issue(s)
around which the group was organized has (have) been resolved, altered, or reprioritized; or (4) a
decision of whether the group would continue operating had not been made. For these and other
instances in which the author was unable to obtain confirmation from a Member or staff about a group's
status, the group is listed here.
b. The year(s) shown is (are) the first point at which the author was unable to obtain authoritative information
on each group's status. In those instances when information became unavailable at some point during
a Congress, the author has shown the two years of that particular Congress.
c. The Green Scissors Coalition's activities included identification of wasteful and environmentally harmful
government programs and elimination of such programs to ensure both a sound economy and a sound
ecology. (Join the Bipartisan “Green Scissors Coalition.” Dear Colleague letter from Representatives
Dick Zimmer, Martin Meehan, Scott Klug, and Joseph Kennedy, May 20, 1996.)
d. The Notch Coalition was concerned with "correcting the Social Security Notch — workers and their
survivors born between 1917 and 1926 whose Social Security benefit payments are less than those born
before or after the Notch." (Congressional Yellowbook, summer 1993, pp. vi-38.)
