House Chamber

Congress Overview

A divided government complicated legislative work during the 112th Congress (2011–2013). Unable to reach deals on a number of issues, the Republican-controlled House and the Democratic Senate passed emergency measures to prevent a government shutdown and avoid defaulting on the country’s debt. After long talks between the Speaker and the President, a “grand bargain” of tax hikes and spending cuts collapsed, leaving a Senate bill to raise the debt ceiling. A House-Senate panel tasked with reducing deficits failed to outline a plan, triggering a series of automatic spending cuts called sequestration.

Smith Receives Ways and Means Subcommittee Assignments

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) today announced he will serve on the Ways and Means Subcommittees on Trade, Social Security, and Human Resources during the 112th Congress. Smith was named to the full committee in December.

The jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Trade includes customs and customs administration (including tariff and import fee structure); commodity agreements and reciprocal trade agreements; budget authorizations for the customs revenue functions of the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. International Trade Commission, and the U.S. Trade Representative; and special trade-related problems involving market access, export policy and promotion, and bilateral trade relations including trade with developing nations.

The Social Security Subcommittee has oversight of issues which relate to Social Security, the Federal Old-Age, Survivors' and Disability Insurance System, the Railroad Retirement System, and employment taxes and trust fund operations relating to those systems.

The Human Resources Subcommittee has jurisdiction over public assistance provisions of the Social Security Act, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, child care, foster care, adoption, and low-income energy assistance.

"I'm excited for the opportunity these assignments present. There are many challenges ahead as the committee works to encourage our nation's economic growth and job creation. We will work to reform the tax code to be simpler and fairer while strengthening Social Security and Medicare. My work on the Trade Subcommittee will also provide the opportunity to actively promote access for our nation's agriculture producers and manufacturers to markets in Asia, South America, and throughout the world," Smith said.

The Committee on Ways and Means is the oldest committee of the United States Congress and has jurisdiction over trade, Social Security and Medicare, and is the chief tax-writing committee in the House of Representatives.

Cole Announces Committee Assignments

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Tom Cole (OK-04) today announced his committee assignments for the 112th Congress. Cole will continue serving on the Appropriations Committee and has been named to the Defense Subcommittee, as well as the Foreign Operations Subcommittee. In addition to these new subcommittees, he will continue to serve on the Interior and Environment Subcommittee.

Cole has served on the Appropriations Committee, which has jurisdiction over spending measures like the annual appropriations bills that fund all federal government agencies, since 2009. In the previous Congress, he served on the Interior and Environment; Labor/Health & Human Services/Education; and Legislative Branch subcommittees.

"The Appropriations Committee will be the tip of the spear in efforts to cut government spending, and I am honored to be serving on this pivotal committee at such an important time for our country.

"I am especially pleased to be selected to serve on subcommittees that influence issues vital to Oklahomans.

"Oklahoma's military personnel and bases are vital parts of our national security operations, and I intend to ensure that Oklahoma views are fully represented as the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee shapes military funding priorities. Speaker Boehner and Defense Secretary Gates have made it clear that the defense budget will not be immune from review, and it's crucial that we work closely with military leaders to eliminate wasteful spending without undermining our ability to respond to threats.

"On the Interior Subcommittee, I will continue to work to protect Oklahoma's agriculture and natural resource development from government overreach and to represent our Native American communities.

"The committee has already cut its own budget by 9 percent, and more cuts are coming. I look forward to making the tough choices necessary to end Washington's spending spree and put the country on the path to fiscal responsibility."

Washington, DC -- Congressman Steve Scalise today received his subcommittee assignments on the Energy and Commerce Committee for the 112th Congress. Scalise will continue to serve on the Energy Subcommittee, and will join the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology as well as the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. “These important subcommittees have jurisdiction over several issues vital to Louisiana’s economy and future,” Scalise said. “A majority of the bills that move through Congress will start in these subcommittees, and I am eager to continue working to protect the interests of Southeast Louisiana. I am honored to be a part of these active subcommittees, and I will continue working to get people back to work in the oil and gas industry, and I'll also fight against the planned government takeover of the Internet, while reigning in excessive federal regulations, holding federal agencies accountable to the American people and ensuring that Louisiana has a strong voice in the shaping of our nation’s energy policy.”

Scalise is the only Member of Congress from Louisiana to sit on the Energy Subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over a number of federal agencies and issues that play a major role in the nation’s energy policy and have a critical impact on key sectors of Louisiana’s economy and culture. Some of these issues include:

• Telecommunications policy spanning the Internet, broadcast, radio, wire, and satellite • Homeland security related aspects of telecommunications, including cybersecurity • Oversight of the Federal Communications Commission
