Overview of the Development of U.S. Congressional Committees

An Overview of the Development of U.S. Congressional Committees has been significantly revised (originally featured in two parts in Law Library Lights back in 2004) and just added to LLSDC's Legislative Source Book.

This 21 (PDF) page document was written by Michael Welsh, Senior Legislative Librarian at Pillsbury LLP with assistance from Ellen Sweet, Legislative Reference Specialist, Tax Division, U.S. Department of Justice, and Rick McKinney, Assistant Law Librarian, Federal Reserve Board Law Library. Related to this, is McKinney's new Standing Committees of Congress: 1789 to Present.
