Congress.gov New, Tip, and Top

Library of Congress, In Custodia Legis: “In the previous release, we enhanced access to the Senate legislation actions overview display and added the ability to download the text of legislation in XML format. With this release, member profile pages for current members of the Senate now include a “committees” tab that lists the member’s committee assignments for the current Congress. In addition, Senate committee profile pages now include a “members” tab that lists their membership for the current Congress. [h/t Pete Weiss]

  • Open the Committee Assignments tab on a Senate Member profile page to see a list of the committees and subcommittees to which a Senator has been assigned.
  • Open the Members tab on a Senate committee profile page to see the complete list of members assigned to the committee and its subcommittees.
