I. FOREWORD 

There have been several studies on the Committee on Appropriations. Edward T. Taylor of Colorado published the first, A History 

of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, as a 

House document in the 77th Congress (1941–1943). Taylor chaired 

the committee from 1937 to 1941. Richard Fenno’s The Power of the 

Purse: Appropriations Politics in Congress (Little, Brown and Co., 

1966), is a landmark study of the committee. Fenno analyzed the 

House and Senate appropriations process in the 1950s and 1960s, 

relying on six years of extensive interviews and more than 575 separate appropriations case histories. Charles Stewart, III’s Budget 

Reform Politics: The Design of the Appropriations Process in the 

House of Representatives, 1865–1921 (Cambridge, 1989), provides 

the definitive account of the committee from its creation to the 

Budget and Accounting Act of 1921. Robert Munson’s The Cardinals of Capitol Hill: The Men and Women Who Control Government Spending (Grove Press, 1993) focuses on one subcommittee, 

VA, HUD, and Independent Agencies during the 1993 budget cycle. 

Finally, the U.S. Capitol Historical Society published a short work 

on the committee, featuring an address by American Enterprise Institute scholar Norm Ornstein. 

This publication provides Members, congressional staff, and 

scholars new resource material for studying the committee. Most 

notably, it contains subcommittee rosters back to the 46th Congress (1879–1881). It also provides charts delineating both annual 

appropriations by subcommittee and deficiency and supplemental 

appropriations by bill and public law numbers. The House Appropriations Committee produced A Concise History of the House of 

Representatives Committee on Appropriations with assistance from 

the House Historian’s Office.

A CONCISE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON 

APPROPRIATIONS 

I. The Power of the Purse, 1789–1865 

The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse, 

both to raise revenue and to appropriate funds. Article 1, Section 

9, declares that: ‘‘No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but 

in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law . . . .’’ Heirs to almost two centuries of struggle over this authority between the 

English monarch and Parliament, the Founders had experienced 

similar tensions between colonial governors and colonial assemblies. Essential to the liberties of the people was control over taxing 

and spending. Federalist 58 argued, ‘‘This power over the purse 

may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and 

for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.’’ 

The Constitution does not expressly tell Congress how to exercise 

this power, but it does give the legislative branch the authority ‘‘to 

lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the 

Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of 

the United States.’’ Other than a two-year limitation on appropriations to support armies, it is up to Congress to decide how to raise 

and spend money. Since the Civil War, both houses have developed 

similar ways of exercising this power, separating authorizations of 

policy from appropriations, as well as separating the raising of revenue from spending. Both houses have gone through cycles of centralized and decentralized control over appropriations. In the last 

40 years, federal spending has shifted dramatically, increasing the 

areas of mandatory spending over that controlled by the appropriations committees, so that now more than 60 percent of federal outlays are mandatory. Still, whether it is through mandatory programs or discretionary spending, it is ultimately Congress’s responsibility to decide how to spend the people’s money. The historical 

development of this power reflects the development of representative powers in Congress. 

The American Revolution was fought in some measure over the 

English efforts to disproportionally tax the colonies. And the Articles of Confederation, the country’s first national charter, had proven ineffective because Congress could not raise revenue and pay 

debts. One of the main purposes of the new federal Constitution 

was to remedy this deficiency. When the new Federal Congress 

convened in New York in the spring of 1789, one of the first resolutions provided for the new government’s finances. The House of 

Representatives devoted much of June and July to the problem of 

raising revenue. On July 24, Representative Thomas Fitzsimons of 

Pennsylvania recommended that the House appoint a Committee

on Ways and Means if it wished to receive specific estimates and 

recommendations on government finances.1 The committee, however, was discharged less than a month after its creation, and the 

House instead relied upon Secretary of the Treasury Alexander 

Hamilton to report on the government’s finances.2 Hamilton preferred executive discretion, and encouraged Congress to grant 

lump-sum payments. The first appropriations act contained only 

four payments totaling $639,000 for federal government operations: 

$216,000 for the civil list; $137,000 for the War Department; 

$190,000 to discharge warrants from the late Board of Treasury; 

and $96,000 for pensions for invalid veterans.3

But throughout the George Washington administration questions 

remained as to whether the executive or legislative branch had the 

authority to initiate federal spending. The House created select 

committees to draft appropriations bills, and increasingly battled 

with Secretary Hamilton over such discretion. In December 1791, 

Congress authorized appropriations that provided for itemized 

sums for each department.4 In March 1794, the House recreated 

the Ways and Means Committee as a select committee, and by the 

end of the year Hamilton announced his intention to retire. 

The fight over the control of appropriations was one phase of the 

increasing division between pro-administration and anti-administration forces. When President Thomas Jefferson took office in 

1800, the balance shifted further toward legislative control over 

spending. Jefferson, along with his Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin, a former Member of the House from Pennsylvania who had 

served three terms on the Ways and Means Committee, encouraged 

the use of specific appropriations. In his first address to Congress 

in 1801, President Jefferson urged ‘‘appropriating specific sums to 

every specific purpose susceptible of definition.’’ 5

Shortly after the Jeffersonians came to power, the status of the 

Ways and Means Committee went from a select committee to a 

standing committee in 1802. But the increasing complexity of government appropriations raised concerns about the committee’s ability to oversee federal spending. The chaos over appropriations during the War of 1812 impelled the House to peel off part of the committee’s jurisdiction in 1814 with the establishment of the Public 

Expenditures Committee. The House also further stripped the 

Ways and Means Committee of its responsibilities by establishing 

six more expenditures committees in 1816: State; Treasury; War; 

Navy; Post Office; and Public Buildings. 

Federal expenditures rose modestly from the 1st Congress (1789– 

1791) until the beginning of the Civil War. In 1800, federal expenditures totaled $10.8 million. From that year through 1829, total expenditures averaged $16.8 million, while averaging $40.8 million 

from 1830 to 1859. During this time, the largest annual expenditure was $69.6 million in 1856, with the largest deficit reaching

$30.8 million in 1847, during the Mexican War.6 However, Congress handled this modest increase over time by an increasing 

number of annual appropriations bills. The House had only passed 

two appropriations during the First Congress: one for financing federal programs and the other for the military, but the scope of these 

appropriations bills soon narrowed. Separate appropriations bills 

for fortifications, the Military Academy, or pensions soon came before the House on an annual basis. Appropriations were often delayed as the number of bills increased, as well as the addition of 

amendments for new projects or programs on the House Floor. 

Such ‘‘riders’’ were banned in the late 1830s when only projects or 

programs already authorized by law could be changed.7

With the Civil War, however, federal spending escalated enor- mously. In 1861, the federal government spent $66.5 million, $25 

million of that borrowed. In 1862, expenditures totaled $474.8 million, and surged to more than $800 million by 1864, reaching a 

peak of $1.3 billion in 1865. The average annual federal deficit during the war years also skyrocketed to $647.3 million.8

As the war concluded, the burdens on the Ways and Means Committee became too great to maintain effective intellectual control 

over the finances of the government.9 In part, this may have been 

an implicit judgment on the ability of the dying Thaddeus Stevens 

of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. 

First elected to the House as a Whig in 1848 to the 31st Congress 

(1849–1851), Stevens served two terms. He returned to the House 

as a Republican in the 36th Congress (1859–1861) and served until 

his death on August 11, 1868. Long a power in the House, Stevens 

had begun to concentrate his diminishing energies toward the reconstruction of the rebellious states. Such circumstances offered 

critics of the committee’s extensive powers, the leverage they needed to strip the Ways and Means Committee of its many responsibilities.10 To reduce federal expenditures, the burden on Ways and 

Means would have to be eased. As Representative Samuel Cox of 

Ohio argued, ‘‘powerful as the [Ways and Means Committee] is constituted, even their powers of endurance, physical and mental, are 

not adequate to the great duty which has been imposed by the 

emergencies of this historic time . . . [their] responsibility is immense, and their control almost imperial over the necessities, comforts, homes, hopes, and destinies of the people.’’ 11

The House Select Committee on Rules reported amendments to 

the House Rules during the closing days of the 38th Congress 

(1863–1865). The committee proposed dividing the jurisdiction of 

the Ways and Means Committee: Ways and Means would retain its 

jurisdiction over taxing and tariff measures, a Banking and Currency Committee would oversee the banking system, and a Committee on Appropriations would have authority over all spending

bills.12 The House would gain more leverage to curb spending, and 

it would gain a greater distribution of important powers and functions throughout the body. The first objective could have been 

achieved by expanding and reorganizing the Ways and Means Committee.13 But meeting the second goal required a distinct division 

of labor.14

The ailing Ways and Means Chairman, Thaddeus Stevens, expressed misgivings as to the wisdom of separating ‘‘the duties of finance from those of appropriations,’’ but he also said that he harbored no strong feeling ‘‘to have it one way or the other.’’ 15 Representative Cox, while also recognizing the difficulties associated 

with splitting revenue from appropriations, nonetheless spoke in 

favor of the measure: ‘‘The tendency of time is to extravagance in 

private and in public. We require of this new committee their 

whole labor in the restraint of extravagance and illegal appropriations.’’ 16 The amendments passed the House by voice vote on 

March 2, 1865, making the Committee on Appropriations a standing committee of the House of Representatives. 

II. The Committee on Appropriations, 1865–1946 

The Organization of the Committee on Appropriations 

At the opening of the 39th Congress (1865–1867), Thaddeus Stevens relinquished the Ways and Means chairmanship in favor of 

Appropriations. But Stevens’s poor health forced him to choose between concentrating on running the new committee or shaping Reconstruction policies.17 The Appropriations Committee held its first 

meeting on December 18, 1865. The committee consisted of nine 

members, with seven seats for the Republican majority and two for 

the Democratic minority. For the first few years, the full committee 

prepared appropriations bills, but starting with Chairman Henry 

Dawes of Massachusetts in the 41st Congress (1869–1871), the 

committee referred bills to individual committee members, who 

would then report a bill to the committee. For example, in the 41st 

Congress, the pensions bill was assigned to William Kelsey of New 

York, the deficiency bill was assigned to William Lawrence of Ohio, 

and the Indian bill was assigned to Aaron Sargent of California. By 

the 46th Congress (1879–1881), the committee membership had increased to 15, while 12 subcommittees had become responsible for 

each of the annual appropriation bills.18

During the 1870s, the committee chairmanship rotated frequently, reflecting the many changes in party control of the House. 

Stevens died during the 40th Congress (1867–1869), and was replaced by Elihu Washburne of Illinois. Henry Dawes was appointed 

chair in the 41st Congress despite never having served on the committee. Representative James Garfield of Ohio chaired the committee for two Congresses (1871–1875).

vania became committee chairman when the Democrats won control of the House in the 1874 elections. Randall served until December 11, 1876, when he was elected Speaker of the House. Randall returned to chair the committee in the 48th through the 50th 

Congresses (1883–1889) after losing the election for Speaker of the 

House to John Carlisle of Kentucky. 

Throughout this period the Appropriations Committee worked to 

reduce federal spending, while a protective tariff transformed Civil 

War deficits into surpluses. In 1870, there was a surplus of $101.6 

million, which peaked at $145.5 million in 1882.19 The role of the 

committee in reducing spending, however, became increasingly subject to criticism among House Members. At the same time, the 

power and influence of the committee grew rapidly.20

The Holman Rule and the Decentralization of Appropriations 

To reduce spending, the House simply changed its rules. From 

1837 until 1876, Rule 120 restricted the contents of general appropriation bills by requiring a formal authorization to precede any 

appropriation. The rule was an attempt to prevent the addition of 

unauthorized appropriations on the floor during amendment proceedings, known as ‘‘riders.’’ 21 In 1876, Appropriations Committee 

member William Holman of Indiana proposed a major change to 

Rule 120 which allowed amendments for reductions in expenditures in appropriations bills to be presented by the committee to 

the full House. Holman argued that this new power would reduce 

spending and prohibit any amendments to the committee’s bill that 

would increase funding. ‘‘[This] leaves the question of increasing 

expenditures as the question of retrenchment existed heretofore,’’ 

Holman insisted. ‘‘It just exactly reverses the practice heretofore 

existing for so many years under the one hundred and twentieth 

rule of the House.’’ 22

Opposition to the Holman Rule largely came from the Republican 

minority. The Democrats had regained control of the House for the 

first time in 15 years, but the Republicans continued to hold the 

Senate and the presidency. Republicans feared that the Holman 

proposal would provide the Democrats political leverage as they negotiated with the Senate and President.23 Former Appropriations 

Committee Chairman James Garfield of Ohio conceded that the 

rules only allowed for increases submitted by the House in the 

committee’s appropriation bills, but disagreed that the solution was 

granting a similar power to decrease appropriations. Republicans 

also worried that the change would make all House committees 

subservient to the Appropriations Committee. ‘‘To give this Appropriation Committee such a general sweeping power now,’’ Garfield 

concluded, ‘‘is substantially to render obsolete the power of all the 

other committees of the House.’’ 24 Likewise, Representative John 

Kasson of Iowa warned that the Holman Rule would allow the committee to ‘‘repeal all laws that have emanated’’ from other House

committees.25 The Holman Rule, nevertheless, passed the House by 

a largely party-line vote of 156 to 102.26

The committee performed its task of reducing government expenditures, making it a target for opponents in the House. When 

Representative Garfield predicted that the Holman Rule would 

‘‘break down the Committee on Appropriations, and disperse the 

annual bills to several committees,’’ he meant to warn the committee’s supporters that the modification had greatly strengthened the 

critics who sought to roll back the Appropriations Committee’s 

power.27

The first break came in 1877, as members of the Committee on 

Commerce sought jurisdiction over the annual rivers and harbors 

appropriations bill, one of the largest domestic spending bills. 

Many southern Representatives sought internal improvements for 

their districts and they expected to increase spending on such 

projects if they could bypass the Appropriations Committee. An initial compromise dictated that the Commerce Committee report its 

bill to Appropriations, which would then report the bill to the 

House after its deliberations. Instead, after the Commerce Committee had reported the rivers and harbor bill, its chairman John 

Reagan of Texas, offered a surprise motion to suspend the rules 

and pass the bill immediately. The motion to suspend the rules, 

normally used for minor bills, required a two-thirds majority to 

pass. The surprise motion allowed the Appropriations Committee’s 

opponents to quickly coalesce and pass the bill, 167 to 66. The 

Commerce Committee had removed Appropriations entirely from 

the process. 

In the following Congress, House Speaker and former Appropriations Chairman Randall attempted to use the Rules Committee as 

a vehicle to strengthen the requirement to suspend the rules in 

order to prevent circumvention of the Appropriations Committee. 

Instead, the revolt against Appropriations persisted as the House 

formally transferred the authority to report the rivers and harbor 

bill from Appropriations to Commerce. In 1880, the assault on the 

Appropriations Committee’s jurisdiction continued with the transfer of jurisdiction over agriculture appropriations to the Committee 

on Agriculture and Forestry.28

By the beginning of the 49th Congress (1885–1887), the revolt 

against Appropriations was complete. Speaker of the House John 

Carlisle, reported the new House Rule that transferred jurisdiction 

over appropriations for the consular and diplomatic affairs, army, 

military academy, navy, post office, rivers and harbors, agriculture, 

and Indian affairs from the Appropriations Committee to other 

standing committees. Appropriations only retained jurisdiction over 

six of the 14 appropriations bills: legislative, executive and judicial; 

sundry civil; fortifications; pensions; District of Columbia; and deficiencies.29

Appropriations Chairman Randall strongly objected to this 

change, predicting that decentralization would lead to major inVerDate Mar 15 2010 23:12 Dec 21, 2010 Jkt 061874 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\C874C1.XXX C874C1

creases in expenditures. Citing the Commerce Committee’s record 

with the rivers and harbors bill, he noted that spending had increased to $13.6 million annually, compared to an average of only 

$7.4 million annually between 1876 and 1880.30 The committee’s 

Ranking Member, Joseph Cannon of Illinois, who had joined Appropriations in 1879, argued that the Holman Rule had opened a 

‘‘Pandora’s box’’ of evils by allowing committees to wrest jurisdiction over spending from Appropriations. ‘‘You thereby make the approaches to the Treasury smooth and easy,’’ Cannon warned. ‘‘You 

give to each one of eight committees of appropriation, so far as the 

House is concerned, a key to the money vaults of the Treasury, 

with none of the ordinary or extraordinary checks usual in legislative bodies upon them. There is, in my opinion, but one result possible—reckless and unjustifiable expenditure.’’ 31 On December 19, 

1885, after four days of debate, the House voted to strip Appropriations of much of its jurisdiction. The responsibility for establishing 

spending priorities was now decentralized throughout the committees of the House. Appropriations would operate under this reduced 

jurisdiction for nearly four decades. 

Having spread responsibility for appropriations to numerous 

committees, government expenditures rose significantly. Large surpluses became deficits beginning in 1894, with a $61.2 million 

shortfall that continued to the end of the century.32 Two wars put 

greater, unplanned stress on the federal budget: the Spanish American War ($283 million) and World War I ($20 billion).33 The federal deficit soared. A $63 million surplus in 1901 became a $63 million deficit by 1915. And by 1919, the deficit had reached $13 billion.34 Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft attempted to rein in deficits through greater efficiency and reorganization. In 1905, President Roosevelt appointed an executive commission consisting of federal executives to recommend administrative reforms, and in 1910, President Taft convinced Congress to 

fund his Commission on Economy and Efficiency. Neither effort 

had much effect.35 The House eventually became convinced that its 

decentralized authority over government appropriations had fostered uncontrolled spending.36 By taking action on this problem, 

Congress initiated a reform that had many of the hallmarks of the 

waning Progressive Era: a comprehensive overhaul of the federal 

budget process that included both executive and legislative 

branches. 

The Budget Act of 1921 and the Restoration of Appropriations Committee Jurisdiction 

Congress understood the need for a consolidated federal budget 

long before World War I. Yet, during the war the executive branch

37President James Polk required all of his Cabinet to submit their budget requests to him. 

After reviewing the requests, the President then submitted all of the budget requests to 

Congress himself. Given the extremely limited staff support provided Presidents at the 

time, none of his successors chose to continue the practice. See, White, The Jacksonians:

needed the flexibility to enter contracts beyond authorized appropriations. Congress was willing to grant such authority by providing for lump-sum appropriations for the duration of the war. 

After the armistice, however, Congress sought to regain control 

over the process. 

But the budgetary process had long been criticized, and the end 

of the war offered an opportunity to re-examine how the government undertook budget-making. The submission of government 

agency budget requests directly to Congress without the benefit of 

a single authority in the White House or Treasury Department to 

coordinate requests was a major problem. The President’s annual 

message to Congress often served as a cover letter for all of the departmental requests.37 In addition, numerous committees in Congress mirrored the decentralized executive process. The rise of the 

seniority system in House committees, as more Members made congressional service a career, fostered close committee-agency relations—a development that allowed shrewd agency heads to play 

congressional committees against the President in determining proposed funding.38

On July 31, 1919, the House authorized a Select Committee on 

the Budget to create a national budget system concerning ‘‘appropriations, estimates, and expenditures.’’ 39 Twelve members were 

assigned to the Select Committee on Budget, headed by Appropriations Chairman James Good of Iowa, with Appropriations Ranking 

Member Joseph W. Byrns of Tennessee leading the minority. Two 

months later, the select committee reported out H.R. 9783 on October 8, to establish a national budget system. The bill easily passed 

both houses of Congress, but President Woodrow Wilson vetoed it 

on June 4, 1920, because it gave Congress the exclusive power to 

remove an officer, the comptroller general, created by the bill.40

The effort to reform the budget process, however, further encouraged the House to centralize the appropriations process under the 

umbrella of one committee. As the report of the Select Committee 

on the Budget stated, ‘‘Congress will not perform its full duty by 

requiring the executive department to adopt business methods if it 

refuses to lay down the same rule for the transaction of the business properly coming before it.’’ 41 To further that aim, Good sponsored a resolution returning jurisdiction of overall expenditures to 

the Appropriations Committee: ‘‘[No] bill or joint resolution carrying appropriations shall be reported by any committee not having 

jurisdiction to report appropriations.’’ 42 The resolution also called 

for expanding the Appropriations Committee from 21 to 35 memVerDate Mar 15 2010 23:12 Dec 21, 2010 Jkt 061874 PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\C874C1.XXX C874C1

bers. The full House took up the proposal on June 1, 1920, with 

Martin Madden of Illinois, arguing in favor of consolidating appropriations: ‘‘I maintain that it is an impossibility with eight great 

appropriating committees, which travel in different directions, to 

visualize the financial situation of the Nation and to correlate the 

great work of reform which must be recognized as needed to keep 

the expenses of the Government within the revenues . . . unless we 

register our votes in favor of this resolution we will have said by 

our action that we are not in favor of economical reform in Government.’’ 43

The chairmen of House committees which would lose jurisdiction 

opposed the proposal, but Chairman Good defended it, linking the 

internal House reform with the passage of the budget act. ‘‘If you 

want real economy, if you want a reduction in the high cost of living, a reduction in expenditures, a reduction in taxation, if you 

want a real budget,’’ Good argued, ‘‘you will vote for this resolution.’’ 44 It passed 200 to 117. During the lame duck session in December 1920, 14 members, seven from each party, were added to 

the Appropriations Committee. An additional six subcommittees 

were also created, bringing the total to 13: Agriculture; Legislative, 

Executive, Judicial; Sundry Civil; Pensions; Diplomatic and Consular; Army; Navy; Fortifications; District of Columbia; Indian; Deficiencies; Post Office; and Rivers and Harbors. In 1922, the Senate 

followed the House by reconsolidating its spending processes in the 

Senate Appropriations Committee. 

In the 67th Congress (1921–1923), the House and Senate again 

debated legislation to establish a national budget system. The goal 

was to require the President to submit annual budget recommendations to Congress, along with estimated expenditures and receipts. 

To aid the President in constructing such recommendations, Congress established a Bureau of the Budget in the Treasury Department. The bill also created the General Accounting Office (GAO), 

under a comptroller general, tasked with the responsibility to execute independent audits of revenue and expenditure. The comptroller could only be removed by joint resolution, which required 

the President’s signature. 

The Senate first took up the bill, S. 1084, passing it by voice vote 

on April 26, 1921. In the House, Appropriations Committee Chairman Good led the debate; Ranking Member Byrns also supported 

the proposal. The House overwhelmingly passed the bill 344 to 9, 

and President Warren G. Harding signed the Budget and Accounting Act into law on June 10, 1921.45 Ultimately, the Budget Act 

was an attempt to police national spending after the number of federal programs exploded during the Progressive Era and again following World War I. 

From the 1920s to the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 

The budget reforms and centralization of the appropriations process in the House and Senate helped address the deficits caused by 

World War I. In 1920, the federal government ran a $291 million 

surplus, and the next year, after the passage of the Budget Act, it

achieved a $509 million surplus. Surpluses continued, reaching a 

peak of $1.5 billion in 1927. However, as a result of the Great Depression, revenues dropped by 33 percent and surpluses returned 

to deficits by 1931.46

Shortly after the Budget Act passed, Chairman Good resigned 

from the House and Representative Madden succeeded him, 

chairing the committee from July 1921 until his death on April 27, 

1928. It was likely at this time that the Appropriations subcommittees began to take on greater autonomy from the full committee. 

As a result, subcommittee chairs began to accrue more influence 

and power. ‘‘They are the lords with their fiefs and their duchys 

each with power over his own area of appropriations,’’ recalled one 

committee member during the 1960s. ‘‘There’s a power elite on this 

Committee. And these subcommittee chairmen are as powerful as 

other legislative chairmen.’’ 47 Authorized to shape federal expenditures, Appropriations subcommittee chairmen were referred to as 

the ‘‘College of Cardinals,’’ an allusion to the influential clergy who 

elect and advise the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. 

Democrats took the majority in the 72nd Congress (1931–1933), 

with future Speaker Joseph Byrns of Tennessee, chairing Appropriations for one term. In the 73rd Congress (1933–1935), James 

Buchanan of Texas became chairman, continuing until his death in 

1937. In his budget request in January 1935, President Franklin 

D. Roosevelt recommended a $4 billion lump-sum appropriation to 

employ millions of citizens on projects designated by the executive. 

In response, Chairman Buchanan guided the then-largest single 

domestic spending bill through the House, the Emergency Relief 

Appropriations Act of 1935, which contained the sum requested by 

the President, along with an additional $880 million drawn from 

leftover money from previous appropriations. It passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate, and Roosevelt signed it into law in 

April. Under the act’s authority, President Roosevelt established 

the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which employed more 

than 3.5 million people. 

In September 1941, in the first session of the 77th Congress 

(1941–1943), Democrat Clarence Cannon of Missouri became chairman of the Appropriations Committee. With the exception of the 

Republican-controlled 80th and 83rd Congresses (1947–1949; 1953– 

1955), Cannon would remain chair until his death in 1964. Cannon 

had served as the House Parliamentarian from 1915 to 1921, compiling the second set of House precedents. ‘‘You can’t argue with 

Cannon,’’ as one Appropriations Committee member recalled. ‘‘He 

wrote the book.’’ 48

Acquiring the chairmanship three months before the Japanese 

attack on Pearl Harbor, Cannon’s first responsibility was to drastically increase appropriations for the War and Navy Departments. 

In 1940, the War Department’s appropriation was approximately 

$500 million and the Navy’s $773 million. By 1943, the bill for the

Army totaled $59 billion and the Navy bill reached $27 billion.49

Cannon deemed the large expenditures necessary for the war, but 

he also pushed for drastic reductions after the war’s end. Thus, the 

annual War and Navy bills that passed the House for FY1946 were 

$7 billion and $4 billion, respectively.50

Despite consolidating the Appropriations Committee’s jurisdiction, some House authorizing committees still managed to occasionally bypass the Appropriations Committee. For example, committees would authorize agencies or departments to incur debts or 

enter contracts exceeding the forecasted appropriations, a mechanism referred to as ‘‘back-door spending.’’ In these situations, the 

Appropriations Committee had little choice but to supply the funds 

necessary to handle these commitments. The spending control of 

the Appropriations Committee was further limited as non-discretionary spending, such as Social Security, was authorized and 

funded outside the annual appropriations process.51

The experience gained during World War II underscored the necessity for congressional reorganization. Several independent studies concluded that the legislative branch was ‘‘neither organized 

[nor] equipped to perform adequately its main functions. . . .’’ The 

reports warned that legislative operations had to be modernized to 

avoid ‘‘an imminent break-down of the legislative branch.’’ 52 One 

problem was an excessive number of standing committees in both 

the House and Senate. Another was that Congress failed to ‘‘compel 

compliance with the laws making specific appropriations.’’ 53 And, 

while the Budget Act of 1921 required the President to prepare a 

budget, Congress did not anticipate its spending levels or outline 

its priorities. 

To respond to these and other problems, Congress created the 

Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress which reported 

S. 2177. The measure eventually passed as the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 on August 2, 1946.54 Though the act’s reforms 

concerned the general organizational problems of Congress, several 

changes focused on the appropriations process. In the House, the 

law amended Rule XVI to prohibit the committee from reporting 

bills or amendments which contained unauthorized limitations on 

appropriation levels.55 This rule essentially repealed the Holman 

Rule which had permitted germane unauthorized retrenchments. 

The Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 required further transparency in the appropriations process, and prohibited the ‘‘re-appropriation of unobligated balances except for continuing public 

works.’’ 56

To further centralize decisionmaking, another provision of the act 

created a Joint Committee on the Legislative Budget, composed of 

members of the House and Senate Appropriations committees, the 

House Ways and Means Committee, and the Senate Finance ComVerDate Mar 15 2010 23:12 Dec 21, 2010 Jkt 061874 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\C874C1.XXX C874C1

mittee. ‘‘Taxes are levied and appropriations made by separate 

committees,’’ the joint committee reported. ‘‘The right hand does 

not know what the left is doing.’’ 57 The Legislative Reorganization 

Act of 1946 tasked the joint committee with constructing a legislative budget by outlining spending limits and protections. It was to 

meet every session and prepare estimates by April 15. Until such 

action, neither chamber could consider an appropriations bill.58

III. The Appropriations Committee, 1947–1974 

The 80th Congress (1947–1949) convened on January 3, 1947, 

with the first Republican majority in nearly 20 years. John Taber 

of New York, who had served as the Ranking Member since 1933, 

became chairman of the Appropriations Committee. The new House 

Rules set the membership of the committee at 43 and listed its jurisdiction as simply: ‘‘Appropriation of the revenue for the support 

of the Government.’’ 59 Taber established 12 subcommittees to prepare the annual appropriations bills, and chaired the Deficiencies 

Subcommittee. 

Before the House could tackle any of its own appropriations bills, 

however, the Joint Committee on the Legislative Budget had to set 

limits on how much the federal government could spend during 

FY1948. On February 14, the joint committee voted to set expenditures at $31.5 billion and overall appropriations at $24 billion, both 

figures significantly below President Harry S. Truman’s requested 

budget.60

Debate on the joint committee’s resolution in the House began on 

February 20, 1947. While many supported decreased spending, the 

joint committee’s recommendations merely specified an overall cap 

without suggesting which areas of government spending to reduce. 

Taber urged support for the report in the interests of economy. 

Clarence Cannon, then-Ranking Member, denounced the recommendations as ‘‘voting sight unseen’’ on the government budget, 

and he worried about potential cuts in military spending as tensions with the Soviet Union increased. Taber assured the House 

that every dollar truly needed for defense would be granted, and 

the House passed the resolution by a party-line vote, 239 to 159. 

The Senate, however, amended the joint committee’s recommendation to restore some of the President’s programs. The resolution 

reached an impasse in conference regarding spending levels and 

whether the surplus should go toward reducing taxes or the debt. 

Unable to reach an agreement, the first session of the reorganized 

Congress conducted its business without the required budgetary 

ceilings.61 The second session of the 80th Congress met with more 

success, as the Senate quickly passed the joint committee’s resolution. But in the House, a heated debate between Taber and Cannon 

ensued.62

viewpapers.php?pid=823 (accessed 6 October 2010). 

The initial support for the legislative budget eroded by the end 

of the 80th Congress. Leaders in both parties acknowledged that it 

was impractical for the joint committee to set ceilings before holding hearings.63 Thus, in the 81st Congress (1949–1951), with Clarence Cannon again chairing the Appropriations Committee, Congress pushed the joint committee’s deadline to May 1, rejecting 

Cannon’s advice to suspend its operations. The joint committee 

failed to produce any recommendations, and it died quietly.64

While the experiment with a legislative budget failed, the desire 

for simplicity and legislative control over the process remained. In 

one experiment, Cannon believed that a single omnibus appropriations bill would reduce waste, decrease deficits, discourage riders, 

and minimize pressure from special interests.65 Despite much skepticism, including from Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas, Chairman 

Cannon decided to report an omnibus appropriations bill to the 

House in 1950. ‘‘In the fierce light of publicity which will be concentrated on that final vote there will be no escape from responsibility,’’ Cannon argued. ‘‘A clear unequivocal record must be 

made.’’ 66 The bill topped out at more than $29 billion, with pro- jected deficits of $4 billion. Debate on the bill, H.R. 7786, lasted 

four weeks, with the Committee of the Whole House considering it 

chapter by chapter, with numerous amendments on the floor. On 

May 10, the omnibus bill passed the House, 362 to 21. The Senate 

increased appropriations in many areas, significantly boosting foreign aid and defense, for a bill of $34.2 billion. The conference accepted most of the Senate’s changes, and President Truman signed 

it into law on September 6, 1950. The experiment marked the first 

time since the 1790s that all regular appropriation bills were considered together. As a result, the 1950 Omnibus Bill appropriated 

more money than any other single statute to that point. 

Many observers, however, considered the omnibus experiment a 

failure. Instead of shortening the period from introduction to enactment, Congress required three continuing resolutions to keep the 

government running after the start of the new fiscal year. Further 

supplemental and deficiency bills were also necessary, bringing the 

total appropriations for FY1951 to $72.3 billion. The size of the omnibus bill also made it difficult to review thoroughly. At the beginning of the 82nd Congress (1951–1953), the Appropriations Committee voted 31 to 18 against resuming Cannon’s experiment.67

When North Korea invaded South Korea in June 1950, the omnibus appropriation provided the Defense Department with $13.3 billion. The North Korean attack forced dramatic increases in spending. On July 19, 1950, President Truman addressed the nation 

about the dangers of ‘‘the international Communist movement,’’ 

and he asked for an additional $10 billion for defense.68 Deficiencies and Army Civil Functions Subcommittee Chairman John 

Kerr of North Carolina sponsored a defense supplemental of $16.8

billion, which easily passed the House at the end of August. As the 

military situation deteriorated, the Senate put forth additional 

sums, and the $17.2 billion supplemental became law on September 22, 1950.69 China’s entrance into the conflict in late November forced Truman to ask for an additional supplemental of almost 

$18 billion. Chairman Cannon called on the House to reject isolationism: ‘‘We have only one alternative—to become so strong that 

no enemy will dare attack us. We must arm; we must arm as rapidly as we can; we must be as strong as possible as soon as possible, and this bill proposes a start in that direction.’’ 70 Ranking 

Member Taber concurred, asking the House for courage ‘‘to tell 

folks back home that the military forces must have first call on everything and that they must do without.’’ 71 The House passed the 

additional supplemental by voice vote on December 15, approving 

the conference report on New Year’s Day 1951, totaling $19.6 billion for the military effort. From 1952 to 1953, military spending 

dominated the Appropriations Committee’s agenda.72

The 1952 elections brought the Republicans back into the majority in Congress. President Dwight Eisenhower hoped to balance the 

budget by 1955, in part through ending the fighting in Korea and 

then instituting major defense cuts through a greater reliance upon 

nuclear deterrence. By FY1956, the annual deficit had been eliminated, and in the following year there was a small surplus. 

For FY1958, however, the Republican administration and Democratic Congress feuded over priorities. The administration did not 

enumerate specific cuts, deferring to Congress. Chairman Cannon 

responded by sponsoring a resolution for the President to ‘‘indicate 

the places and amounts in his budget where he thinks substantial 

reductions may best be made.’’ 73 ‘‘No one else in the world is in 

a better position than the President to give this advice,’’ declared 

Cannon. ‘‘Surely so vital a measure as the budget, which may spell 

national life and death, comes within this category.’’ 74 The House 

passed the resolution in a largely party-line vote on March 12, 

1957. President Eisenhower proposed $1.8 billion in cuts, but Congress slashed almost $5 billion, much of it from defense. The Bureau of the Budget contested the figures touted by Congress, estimating only $3 billion in cuts, and predicted that most cuts would 

be nullified through supplemental appropriations later in the fiscal 

year.75

Lost revenues following the 1958 recession returned the federal 

coffers to deficit levels, a trend that continued through the mid1960s. At the end of the 87th Congress (1961–1963) in October 

1962, Clarence Cannon praised his colleague, John Taber, who was 

retiring after 40 years in the House; however, he also used the occasion to denounce continued deficit spending: ‘‘The year Mr. Taber 

came here,’’ Cannon said, ‘‘the total annual public expenditure was 

$3 billion. We are spending this year $115 billion, the largest

1983). 

amount ever spent in a peacetime year in the history of the American Congress.’’ 76 Cannon also noted that the national debt had 

climbed to more than $300 billion, warning that this would cause 

a run on gold reserves. Cannon passed away on May 12, 1964, and 

his successor, George Mahon of Texas, continued to chair the Defense Subcommittee. 

During the mid-1960s, a strong economy produced significant 

revenue growth, which offset some of the major increases in domestic spending associated with President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society programs. In addition, the passage of Medicare and Medicaid 

in 1965, as amendments to the Social Security Act, added these 

programs to mandatory spending, outside the control of the House 

and Senate Appropriations committees. While their initial budget 

impact was relatively modest, these entitlement programs grew significantly. By FY1969, the budget reached a small surplus, but the 

increasing costs associated with the Vietnam War, along with further deficits and increased inflation, caused President Richard 

Nixon to remove the country from the gold standard, impose wage 

and price controls, and fight with Congress over appropriations. 

President Nixon introduced a new executive approach to government spending when he took a more aggressive lead in budget politics than his predecessors, vetoing five appropriations bills for 

FY1971. Executive reorganization was one of the means by which 

he attempted to manage federal spending. Besides transforming 

the Bureau of the Budget into the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Nixon proposed a dramatic consolidation of executive departments, and to limit challenges he attempted to hire party loyalists.77 Congress went along with the creation of OMB in 1970, but 

it ignored the consolidation of departments. President Nixon devised another way of exerting greater control over government 

spending when he began ‘‘impounding’’ appropriated funds—that 

is, refusing to spend the money. While such a practice had long 

been observed, it had been limited to small amounts or minor accounts. In this case, however, when Congress did not eliminate the 

Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), a centerpiece of Lyndon 

Johnson’s Great Society, Nixon instructed that none of the funds 

appropriated to OEO be spent. Such an unprecedented challenge to 

the power of the purse quickly produced court battles and legislative efforts to limit presidential discretion over spending. 

IV. Appropriations From 1974–Present 

The Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 

Many Members of Congress realized that in order to compete 

with the President’s growing influence, they needed to reform their 

budget process. Unable to complete work on annual appropriations 

bills before the start of the July 1 fiscal year, ‘‘back-door spending’’ 

by executive agencies lacked Congress’s budgetary oversight. Budget estimates in 1974 concluded that only 44 percent of total federal 

spending consisted of items considered by the Appropriation committees.

Toward the end of the 92nd Congress (1971–1973), a 32-member 

Joint Committee to Study Budget Control was created.78 Led by 

Appropriations Agriculture-Environmental and Consumer Protection Subcommittee Chairman Jamie Whitten of Mississippi, and Al 

Ullman of Oregon of the Ways and Means Committee, the joint 

committee was charged with reviewing procedures on the budget 

and federal expenditures. The joint committee began its work at 

the opening of the 93rd Congress (1973–1975) and unanimously reported out H.R. 7130, the Congressional Budget and Impoundment 

Control Act, on April 18, 1973. 

During the House debate, Appropriations Chairman George 

Mahon argued that the bill ‘‘represents a major legislative effort in 

the field of budget control—a subject that quickens the heart of the 

American taxpayer, and certainly a subject of vital importance to 

the role of the legislative branch of government.’’ While there were 

compromises within it, ‘‘it represents a constructive and reasonable 

approach to budget control and impoundment review.’’ 79 The provisions of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 made numerous 

changes to the budget process. First, it altered the fiscal year’s 

start from July 1 to October 1. Second, it established new committees responsible for ‘‘budget resolutions’’ that granted budget authority, and set limits on outlays, revenues, and the national debt. 

Outlays now had to be reported under five functional categories. 

The resolutions would set the ceiling for all five categories which 

would serve as the goals for both the finance and appropriations 

committees of Congress. To assist Congress in this new process, the 

measure created a Congressional Budget Office.80

Drastic change in the culture of the House Appropriations Committee was an unanticipated consequence of the Budget Act. Prior 

to 1974, the House Appropriations Committee gained respect and 

influence in the House by cutting presidential budget requests. The 

committee’s own goals, as described by political scientist Richard 

Fenno, included protecting the power of the purse, guarding the 

federal treasury, reducing executive budget estimates, and serving 

the constituency interests of the Members.81 Now the incentive 

structure had changed. If a subcommittee managed to reduce appropriations levels below what the budget resolution had set, it 

would not gain any special recognition or reward. Instead, as congressional scholar Louis Fisher observes, the gap ‘‘would be quickly 

filled with projects offered by lawmakers.’’ 82 Instead of gaining 

control over appropriations, Congress had lost it. 

Towards Gramm-Rudman-Hollings 

As budget reform encouraged deficit spending, the dramatic increases of the 1970s inevitably followed. Inflation ran at more than 

18 percent by January of 1980, with the prime lending rate climbing to more than 21 percent that December. These and other facVerDate Mar 15 2010 23:12 Dec 21, 2010 Jkt 061874 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\C874C1.XXX C874C1

tors led to the election of a Republican majority in the Senate with 

Democratic control of the House reduced in 1980. President Ronald 

W. Reagan called on Congress for 30-percent tax cuts over three 

years, along with major increases in defense spending. His FY1982 

proposal reduced revenue by almost $54 billion, with spending cuts 

of more than $41 billion. Total outlays were estimated at $695 billion with revenue at $650.3 billion, for a deficit of $45 billion. The 

House passed a substitute budget resolution sponsored by Phil 

Gramm of Texas and Delbert Latta of Ohio, which approximated 

Reagan’s proposal. Modified by the Senate, the resolution went into 

conference where a budget resolution was produced that provided 

for a $37.65 billion deficit, and allowed for entitlement reductions. 

The vehicle for some of Reagan’s main budget changes, including 

cuts in entitlements and some spending cuts, was the Omnibus 

Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, nicknamed Gramm-Latta II, 

which became law on August 13, 1981. The use of the second budget resolution, or the ‘‘reconciliation’’ resolution shifted power and 

control from the House Appropriations Committee to the Budget 

Committee. 

While dramatically scaling back taxes and domestic spending, 

Reagan pushed major increases in defense spending, initially upwards of $226 billion, which was later reduced to $213 billion. 

House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee Chairman Joseph Addabbo of New York expressed misgivings at the build-up: 

It is with a deep sense of mixed emotions that I bring to the 

committee today the largest defense appropriations bill ever 

presented to any legislative body. . . . I feel in the long run 

a strong economy is of greater value in the competition with 

the Soviet Union in which we find ourselves than is every military toy that is requested of us.83

The Defense Appropriations bill passed, however, with Congress 

cutting back Reagan’s request to just under $200 billion for 

FY1982. This began the long defense buildup throughout Reagan’s 

two terms, which pushed defense spending, in constant dollars, beyond that of the Korean and Vietnam-war eras. 

Deficits continued to climb dramatically, however, in response to 

the combination of tax cuts and defense spending increases, reaching around $200 billion annually. Congress and the White House 

deadlocked late in 1982, with a four-day government shutdown 

after a second continuing resolution expired. After picking up an 

additional 26 seats in the House, Democrats passed most of their 

13 appropriations bills for FY1984 on time, cutting Reagan’s defense increase in half. But the deficit still remained high. The following year, the House waived the requirement that both chambers 

approve the budget resolution, allowing the appropriations process 

to continue as Congress and the White House fought over defense 

spending. 

In 1985, Senators Phil Gramm of Texas, Warren Rudman of New 

Hampshire, and Ernest Hollings of South Carolina, spearheaded 

the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. 

Passed in mid-December, Gramm-Rudman-Hollings amended the

Congressional Budget and Impoundment Act of 1974 to prescribe 

maximum budget deficits for five years, with a zero deficit projected by FY1991. It required an automatic spending-reduction 

process, called sequestration, to trigger across-the-board cuts if the 

deficit targets were not met. While deficits decreased slightly, they 

did not reach the targets, forcing a ‘‘budget summit’’ in 1987 to reaffirm the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings process. The summit pushed 

the zero deficit target back to FY1993. The Supreme Court had 

earlier ruled that sequestration under the comptroller general was 

a violation of the separation of powers, requiring a revision of this 

procedure.84 In late September 1987, Congress passed H.J. Res. 

324, the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987. The new law revised sequestration and other 

procedures, but ultimately proved ineffective. The ‘‘budget summit’’ 

had set appropriations ceilings, allowing legislators to complete 

their work on time, even as the deficits continued to climb significantly above targeted levels. 

The Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 

During his 1988 presidential campaign, George H.W. Bush 

pledged to fight the growing deficit, but also to veto any tax increases, a position he reaffirmed in his first budget proposal in 

February 1989. Throughout the spring, Bush negotiated with congressional leadership, announcing a budget agreement in a Rose 

Garden ceremony. By mid-May, the House and Senate had agreed 

to a $1.17 trillion budget for FY1990, but Congress continued to 

wrangle over tax provisions and deficit reduction. Congress finally 

passed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 in mid-December 1989. This bill met the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings targets, 

although not without some automatic spending cuts. 

The FY1991 budget battle began the next month. The end of the 

Cold War led to increased calls for major cuts in defense spending, 

along with increases in discretionary programs. But deficits persisted, with OMB projections of deficits of more than $230 billion, 

which included costs of the savings and loan bailout. In late summer, congressional leaders met with Bush administration staff to 

negotiate a deficit reduction package, but they were unable to 

reach an agreement. The sequestration provisions of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings would reach approximately 40 percent of non-defense 

spending at the beginning of FY1991, on October 1, so Congress 

passed a short continuing resolution to allow for further negotiation. A first budget agreement was voted down, however, as Republicans opposed to tax increases joined with Democrats against drastic cuts in social programs. Bush vetoed one continuing resolution, 

forcing a short government shutdown. Finally, Budget Committee 

Chairman Leon Panetta of California introduced H.R. 5835, the 

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, which passed, and 

President Bush signed it on November 5, as P.L. 101–508. The law 

provided for significant tax increases and spending cuts, but also 

included the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. This amended 

Gramm-Rudman-Hollings to modify the deficit targets through 

FY1995, with enforcement implemented by sequestration based on 


jbell on DSKDVH8Z91PROD with REPORTS

the budget resolutions. This had the effect of imposing a cap on discretionary spending for appropriations. The act also had a pay-asyou-go requirement to make changes in taxes and spending deficitneutral, a provision which lapsed in the 109th Congress (2005– 

2007). 

Concern about the turmoil brewing in the Middle East (specifically Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invasion of Kuwait in 1990) loomed 

over the negotiations on the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. Appropriations Committee Chairman Jamie Whitten used a continuing resolution to provide for a supplemental appropriation for 

Operation Desert Shield, the deployment of U.S. forces in Saudi 

Arabia. Supplemental appropriations continued as the mission 

changed to Operation Desert Storm, the liberation of Kuwait. 

After the election of President William J. (Bill) Clinton, the restrictions in the Budget Enforcement Act were extended in 1993, 

to carry through until 1997. President Clinton proposed significant 

changes in federal spending, again using the reconciliation process. 

H.R. 2264, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, imposed a ‘‘hard freeze’’ on some appropriations bills, shifting resources away from defense and foreign aid spending. President 

Clinton hoped the ‘‘peace dividend’’ would allow increases in some 

domestic spending. Some projects such as the superconducting 

supercollider were cut, and the process of reducing the size of the 

federal workforce also began. 

For the 103rd Congress (1993–1995), Chairman Whitten stepped 

down due to health issues, and William Natcher of Kentucky, who 

had previously chaired the Labor, Health and Human Services, and 

Education Subcommittee, assumed the chairmanship of the full Appropriations Committee. Natcher also suffered poor health, however, and passed away on March 29, 1994. Foreign Operations Subcommittee Chairman David Obey of Wisconsin was selected to 

chair the Appropriations Committee, and proceeded to move the 

FY1995 bills through the House. Aided by the limits of the 1993 

reconciliation act, which alleviated the need for a budget resolution, all 13 appropriations bills cleared Congress before the start of 

the new fiscal year for only the third time since 1974. 

The midterm election of 1994 ended 40 years of Democratic control of the House of Representatives. Incoming Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia bypassed several senior Republican members of the 

Appropriations Committee to select Robert L. Livingston of Louisiana as chair. The first year of the 104th Congress (1995–1997) 

was contentious, leading to two government shutdowns. One significant piece of legislation that passed was the Line Item Veto 

Act—a key provision of the GOP’s ‘‘Contract with America.’’ After 

year-long deliberations, President Clinton signed it into law as P.L. 

104–1130, on April 9, 1996. This granted the President ‘‘enhanced 

recission’’ authority, whereby the executive could suggest spending 

cuts to Congress after signing legislation into law. The President 

would have five calendar days to propose recissions, with Congress 

having 30 days to pass a resolution of disapproval. Mandatory 

spending was exempted, as were policy provisions, or riders, attached to appropriation bills. The President’s power was further 

curtailed to either approving or completely eliminating a line-item. 

However, even with these limitations, the line-item veto repVerDate Mar 15 2010 23:12 Dec 21, 2010 Jkt 061874 PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\C874C1.XXX C874C1

resented a major shift in power from Congress to the executive. 

President Clinton employed the first line-item veto on August 11, 

1997, when he eliminated three provisions saving $615 million over 

five years. He later vetoed a number of other projects from the 

Military Construction appropriations bill. Of the 13 annual appropriations bills for FY1998, Clinton used his line-item veto on 

nine.85 In Clinton v. New York, however, the Supreme Court ruled 

the line-item veto unconstitutional, based on the Presentment 

Clause of Article 1.86

Bill Clinton was re-elected in 1996, but the Republicans retained 

majorities in both houses. Wearied after two years of budget fights, 

the White House and congressional leadership compromised to 

reach a balanced budget. During the summer of 1997, they worked 

out an agreement, resulting in two bills, the Balanced Budget Act 

and Taxpayer Relief Act, both of which were signed into law on August 5, 1997, as P.L. 105–33 and P.L. 105–34. After tax cuts and 

savings in entitlement programs, the agreement projected a surplus by FY2002. Significant economic growth, combined with 

spending restraint, led to surpluses much sooner, however. The 

$164 billion deficit in FY1995 shrank to less than $22 billion in 

FY1997, and a projected deficit of more than $90 billion in FY1998 

turned into a surplus of $69.3 billion. This grew to $236.2 billion 

for FY2000 and $128.2 billion in FY2001 under President Clinton’s 

final budget.87

In January 2001, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that under the laws and policies then in force, ‘‘the federal 

government would run surpluses in fiscal 2002 through 2011 totaling $5.6 trillion.’’ 88 President George W. Bush took office that same month, and proposed major tax cuts of $1.6 trillion over 10 years. 

The Republican leadership began work on the package, passing it 

even before their budget resolution. The Economic Growth and Tax 

Relief Act of 2001 was one of the largest tax cuts in history to that 

point. However, the attacks of September 11, 2001, dramatically altered the revenue situation forcing a number of emergency supplemental appropriations, and pushing the economy into recession. 

Military action commenced in Afghanistan in the fall of 2001, and 

in the spring of 2003, American and coalition forces invaded Iraq. 

The projected federal surplus quickly evaporated. Deficits reached 

$157.8 billion in FY2002, growing to $412.7 billion for FY2004.89

The situation after September 11, 2001, also increased the need 

for domestic security. In 2002, Congress created the Department of 

Homeland Security, moving a number of agencies into the new department. Appropriations Chairman Bill Young of Florida created 

a new Homeland Security Subcommittee at the beginning of the 

108th Congress (2005–2007), combining the Treasury and Transportation subcommittees to keep the total at 13. Young stepped

down after three terms as chairman, in keeping with Republican 

Conference rules regarding term limits on committee chairmanships, and was succeeded by Jerry Lewis of California. In the 109th 

Congress, Chairman Lewis reduced the number of subcommittees 

to 10. These were the first major reorganizations of the House Appropriations subcommittee structure in more than 30 years.90

In the 110th Congress (2007–2009), David Obey of Wisconsin returned to chair the committee and recreated subcommittees with 

jurisdiction to parallel the Senate Appropriations structure. In the 

midterm election of 2006, Democrats had retaken control of the 

House of Representatives and the Senate, and elected Nancy Pelosi 

of California as the first woman Speaker of the House. First elected 

to the House in 1987, Pelosi was appointed to the Appropriations 

Committee in the 102nd Congress (1991–1993), and continued to 

serve on the committee as she moved into the leadership. In the 

first session of the 110th Congress, Chairman Obey shepherded all 

12 appropriations bills through the House, along with a defense 

supplemental for the Iraq and Afghan wars, as the Bush administration continued to fund the wars outside the regular process.91

In 2008, the country slipped into a deep recession, as the housing 

bubble collapsed and sent shockwaves throughout the economy. 

Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act in October 2008 to shore up the banking and financial system, but unemployment continued to rise as the economy worsened. Senator 

Barack Obama was elected President in November, and Democrats 

picked up seats in the both the House and Senate. 

Economic recovery legislation became the top priority as the 

111th Congress (2009–2011) convened. Shortly after President 

Obama’s inauguration, Chairman Obey introduced the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act, H.R. 1, on January 26, 2009. The 

emergency stimulus combined spending increases and targeted tax 

cuts, initially scored by CBO at around $787 billion over 10 years. 

It passed the House on a party-line vote, and became law on February 17, 2009. While the stimulus contributed to record deficits 

that year, the CBO estimated that in the third quarter of 2010, it 

had increased the number of employed between 1.4 and 3.6 million, 

raising GDP by between 1.4 and 4.1 percent.92 For FY2010, the Appropriations Committee again succeeded in passing all 12 bills 

through the House before the August recess, although the Senate 

missed the fiscal year.93 The Defense bill added the costs of the 

Iraq and Afghan war, rather than relying on supplemental appropriations. 

Since the late 1990s, deficits have increased significantly, moving 

the federal budget from surplus into deficit. One major cause has 

been the increase in mandatory spending on entitlement programs 


jbell on DSKDVH8Z91PROD with REPORTS
24 

such as Social Security and Medicare, along with interest on the 

national debt. Such mandatory spending now accounts for around 

two-thirds of total federal outlays, and much of it exists outside the 

control of the annual appropriations process. Estimates are that 

entitlement spending will significantly increase as the generation 

born after World War II moves into retirement. The portion of total 

federal spending under the control of the House and Senate Appropriations committees has been declining over time, and is projected 

to diminish even further in the long term. 

V. Conclusion 

Since its creation in 1865, the House Appropriations Committee 

has been one of the most powerful bodies in the U.S. House of Representatives. It has long held the status of an exclusive committee 

assignment for House Members due to its extensive scope and 

widespread responsibilities. Unlike most House committees, Appropriations has the entire federal government under its jurisdiction. 

Yet while the committee has developed its own strong identity and 

culture, its influence rests with the House of Representatives. As 

this brief history demonstrates, decisions made by the House can 

have a significant impact on the committee’s direction. The nature 

of the Appropriations Committee’s fiscal authority led to the development of a unique structure of subcommittees with powerful 

chairmen. Inevitably, the relationship between the subcommittees 

and the agencies under their charge tightened due to the nature 

of the investment at hand. In recent decades the dissatisfaction 

concerning congressional processes—especially regarding the raising and spending of funds has intensified. Regardless of the end result on the debate about federal expenditures, the House Appropriations Committee will continue to play a key role in the direction of Congress’s historic power to legislate in the public interest.

Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania 

Appropriations Chairman: 1865–1868 

Thaddeus Stevens was born in 

Danville, Caledonia County, Vermont, 

on April 4, 1792. He attended both 

Peacham Academy and the University 

of Vermont at Burlington before 

graduating from Dartmouth College in 

1814. Stevens moved to Pennsylvania 

to study law. Admitted to the bar in 

1816, he commenced practicing law in 

Gettysburg and became one of the 

town’s leading lawyers.

As his reputation grew, Stevens 

entered local politics and won a seat in 

the Pennsylvania state assembly in 1833. He served in the 

state assembly from 1833 to 1835 and then again in 1837 and 

1841. In 1848, Stevens was elected as a Whig to the U.S. House 

of Representatives for the 31st Congress (1849–1851) and to the 

succeeding Congress. At the close of the 32nd Congress (1851– 

1853), Stevens returned to his law practice. He was elected as a 

Republican to the 36th Congress (1859–1861) and re-elected to 

the four succeeding Congresses. 

Throughout his political career, Stevens was an ardent, outspoken critic of slavery. He denounced slavery and fought measures such as the Compromise of 1850 because of its slave provisions. Stevens served in several positions of leadership in the 

House of Representatives. He chaired the House Committee on 

Ways and Means for the 37th and 38th Congresses (1861– 

1865), which had jurisdiction over the appropriations process. 

In 1868, Stevens served as chairman of the impeachment managers in the proceedings against President Andrew Johnson. In 

1865, Stevens became the first chairman of the newly created 

Appropriations Committee. He chaired the committee for the 

39th Congress (1865–1867) and until his death in the 40th Congress (1867–1869). At the age of 76, Stevens died on August 11, 

1868. After his death, Thaddeus Stevens received the final 

honor of lying in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

Elihu Benjamin Washburne of Illinois 

Appropriations Chairman: 1868–1869 

Elihu Benjamin Washburne was born 

on September 23, 1816, in Livermore, 

Maine. He studied law at Kents Hill 

Seminary in Maine, and graduated 

from Harvard Law School in 1839. He 

relocated to Galena, Illinois, to 

commence the practice of law. As his 

reputation as a lawyer spread, his 

professional travels took him to 

Springfield, Illinois, to argue cases 

before the Illinois state supreme court. 

Washburne later became one of the 

initial organizers of the Republican 

Party in Illinois during the 1850s.

Washburne ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the U.S. House of 

Representatives in 1848. He won election to the House as a 

Whig for the 33rd Congress (1853–1855), and served nine consecutive terms (eight terms were as a Republican). During his 

service in the House, Elihu Washburne acquired a reputation 

as an advocate of frugal appropriations and an opponent of political corruption. He chaired the Committee on Commerce for 

the 34th Congress (1855–1857), and the 36th through 40th Congresses (1859–1869). On August 11, 1868, he was selected to 

complete the late Thaddeus Stevens’ term as chairman of the 

Appropriations Committee. 

A strong supporter of President Abraham Lincoln, Washburne 

opposed President Andrew Johnson’s Reconstruction policy. In 

1869, he was nominated as Secretary of State by President 

Ulysses Grant, but quickly resigned and accepted an appointment as Minister to France, serving until 1877. He died on October 23, 1887, in Chicago, Illinois.

Henry Laurens Dawes of Massachusetts 

Appropriations Chairman: 1869–1871 

Henry Laurens Dawes was born on 

October 30, 1816, in Cummington, 

Massachusetts. Dawes graduated from 

Yale College in 1839, and pursued a 

career as an educator while also 

working as a newspaper editor. Admitted to the bar in 1842, Dawes 

began his practice in North Adams, 

Massachusetts. His political career 

began with his election to the 

Massachusetts state house of representatives, where he served from 1848 

to 1849, and again in 1852. In 1850, 

Dawes won election to the 

Massachusetts state senate, and was named a member of the 

state constitutional convention in 1853. 

Dawes was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a 

Republican for the 35th Congress (1857–1859) and won re-election to the eight succeeding Congresses. Known as an effective 

legislator, debater, and parliamentarian, Dawes chaired several 

committees in the House, including the Committee on Elections 

and Ways and Means. He served as chairman of the Appropriations Committee in the 41st Congress (1869–1871), his first and 

only term on that committee. After President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865, Dawes initially sought a collaborative relationship with President Andrew Johnson, but opposed the President’s Reconstruction policies. Dawes was also 

an advocate of protective tariffs and pushed for the creation of 

the National Weather Service. 

In 1875, Dawes was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he 

chaired several committees. During his tenure as chairman of 

the Indian Affairs Committee, he secured passage of the Indian 

Emancipation Act of 1887, known as the Dawes Act. Dawes also 

championed legislation to complete the Washington Monument. 

In 1892, Henry Laurens Dawes retired from the Senate and 

continued his career with tribal affairs. He passed away on 

February 5, 1903, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

James Abram Garfield of Ohio 

Appropriations Chairman: 1871–1875 

The nation’s 20th President, James 

Abram Garfield, was born on 

November 19, 1831, in Orange, Ohio. 

He graduated from Williams College 

in Massachusetts and taught at 

Reserve Eclectic Institute (now Hiram 

College), serving as its president from 

1857 to 1861. While working at the 

Institute, Garfield became increasingly 

drawn to politics. In 1859, he served in 

the Ohio state senate, where he 

strongly opposed slavery. At the 

outbreak of the Civil War, he assisted 

in recruiting the 42nd Ohio Volunteer 

Infantry and was commissioned as its colonel. During his service, he achieved the rank of brigadier general, a promotion that 

amplified his popularity. In 1862, he was elected as a Republican to the U.S. House of Representatives for the 38th Congress (1863–1865). He went on to serve eight succeeding terms 

in the House. 

Garfield rose to positions of leadership, chairing the Committee 

on Military Affairs for the 40th Congress (1867–1869), the Committee on Banking and Currency for the 41st Congress (1869– 

1871), and the powerful Appropriations Committee for the 42nd 

and 43rd Congresses (1871–1875). As a strong opponent of slavery, Garfield supported President Abraham Lincoln, while also 

using his authority on the Banking and Appropriations committees to push for lower tariffs and hard-money policies. 

In 1880, Garfield won election to the U.S. Senate for the term 

beginning in March of 1881. Having been simultaneously elected President, he declined his Senate seat. Garfield’s short-lived 

presidency was plagued by internal disputes, which hindered 

the advancement of his policy initiatives. On July 2, 1881, as 

President James Garfield was waiting at a train station, he was 

shot twice in the back by an assassin. After only seven months 

in office, he died on September 19, 1881.

Samuel Jackson Randall of Pennsylvania 

Appropriations Chairman: 1875–1876; 1883–1889 

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 

on October 10, 1828, Samuel Jackson 

Randall attended the University 

Academy in Philadelphia and pursued 

a career as a merchant. Randall 

secured a seat on the Philadelphia 

Common Council, serving from 1852 to 

1855. With the disintegration of the 

Whigs, he joined the Democratic 

Party, and was subsequently elected to 

the Pennsylvania state senate in 1858 

for a two-year term. With the outbreak 

of the Civil War, Randall served in the 

Union Army briefly in 1861 and 1863 

without seeing combat. He was elected as a Democrat to the 

U.S. House of Representatives for the 38th Congress (1863– 

1865), and re-elected to the succeeding 13 terms. 

As a member of the minority party for his first 12 years in the 

House and a proponent of states’ rights, Randall became known 

as a master of dilatory tactics and used these to delay the Republican Party’s Reconstruction agenda. After the Democrats 

captured the majority in the election of 1874, Randall was selected to chair the Appropriations Committee. When Speaker 

Michael Kerr of Indiana passed away in 1876, Randall was 

elected to serve as Speaker for the remainder of the 44th Congress (1875–1877). Re-elected as Speaker for the 45th and 46th 

Congresses (1877–1881), Randall did not chair a committee in 

those Congresses. In the 47th Congress (1881–1883), he chaired 

the Committee on Public Expenditures, and returned to chair 

the Appropriations Committee for the 48th through the 50th 

Congresses (1883–1889). 

A strong defender of protective tariffs, Randall used his influence as Speaker and committee chairman to defeat measures 

offered by his Democratic colleagues to reduce tariff rates while 

also promoting policies to reduce government expenditures. He 

served in the House of Representatives until his death on April 

13, 1890, in Washington, DC.

William Steele Holman of Indiana 

Appropriations Chairman: 1876–1877; 1891–1893 

William Steele Holman was born on 

September 6, 1822, in Dearborn 

County, Indiana. After briefly attending Franklin College, he taught at 

the local public school. He studied law 

and was admitted to the bar in 1843. 

In 1843, he was appointed as a probate judge; a position he retained until 

1847. In 1850, he served as a member 

at the Indiana state constitutional 

convention and then as a member of 

the Indiana state legislature for a twoyear term beginning in 1851. Holman 

returned to the bench as judge of 

the court of common pleas from 1852 to 1856. 

Holman’s career in national politics began with his election as a 

Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives for the 36th 

Congress (1859–1861). He served in the House for an additional 

15 terms, during which time he was selected chairman of four 

committees: Appropriations in the 44th Congress (1875–1877) 

and 52nd Congress (1891–1893); Public Buildings and Grounds 

in the 44th Congress (1875–1877); Public Lands in the 50th 

Congress (1887–1889); and Indians Affairs in the 53rd Congress 

(1893–1895). During his time in the House, Holman’s reputation for critically scrutinizing appropriation bills and opposing 

excessive government expenditures earned him the nickname, 

‘‘Watchdog of the Treasury.’’ His most famous contribution to 

the appropriation process occurred in the 44th Congress, when 

the House adopted an amendment to its rules that prohibited 

provisions in general appropriation bills that were not previously authorized by law, except when a provision was germane to the bill and reduced expenditures. This rule became 

known as the ‘‘Holman Rule.’’ 

Holman’s fiscal principles led him to greatly reduce funding for 

the Library of Congress building when he was chairman of the 

Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds and to steadfastly 

oppose internal improvements and government subsidies. He 

passed away in office on April 22, 1897, having served for more 

than 40 years in the House of Representatives.

John DeWitt Clinton Atkins of Tennessee 

Appropriations Chairman: 1877–1881 

John DeWitt Clinton Atkins was born 

on June 4, 1825, in Henry County, 

Tennessee. After graduating from East 

Tennessee University at Knoxville in 

1846, he studied law and briefly 

pursued a career in agriculture. His 

interest in politics led him to seek 

election to the Tennessee state house, 

where he served from 1849 to 1851. 

He was also a state senator from 1855 

to 1857. In 1856, Atkins was elected 

as a Democrat to the 35th Congress 

(1857–1859), but was defeated for reelection to the 36th Congress (1859– 

1861). During the Civil War, he served in the Confederate 

Army as a lieutenant colonel of the Fifth Tennessee Regiment. 

He was also elected to the Confederate Provisional Congress in 

1861 and 1863. 

After the war, Atkins returned to the House of Representatives, 

winning election for the 43rd Congress (1873–1875). When the 

Democrats won a majority in the 44th Congress (1875–1877), 

Atkins secured a position on the Appropriations Committee. 

With the election of Chairman Samuel Randall of Pennsylvania 

as Speaker in the 45th Congress (1877–1879), Atkins received 

the gavel of the Appropriations Committee and served as its 

chairman for two terms. He declined nomination to the House 

after the 47th Congress (1881–1883), and returned to agricultural pursuits in Tennessee. 

On March 21, 1885, President Grover Cleveland appointed Atkins United States Commissioner of Indian Affairs, where he 

served until June 13, 1888. After making an unsuccessful run 

for the U.S. Senate, he retired to private life and passed away 

on June 2, 1908, in Paris, Tennessee.

Frank Hiscock of New York 

Appropriations Chairman: 1881–1883 

Born on September 6, 1834, in 

Pompey, New York, Frank Hiscock 

graduated from Pompey Academy, 

where he studied law. Hiscock’s 

successful law practice in Tully, New 

York, earned him the position of 

district attorney for Onondaga County 

in 1860, where he served through 

1863. Hiscock was a member of the 

New York state constitutional 

convention in 1867. Active in the 

Democratic Party and the Free Soil 

movement in the 1850s, Hiscock 

shifted to the Republican Party. After 

a failed attempt at election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1872, he gained enough support for his election to the 

Republican National Convention in 1876. His participation in 

the debates at the convention earned him prominence throughout the state of New York and aided his pursuit of a congressional seat. 

Hiscock was elected as a Republican to the U.S. House of Representatives for the 45th Congress (1877–1879). He won re-election to four succeeding terms in the House. In his second term, 

he was placed on the Appropriations Committee and one term 

later was elevated to its chairmanship for the 47th Congress 

(1881–1883). However, he lost the chair when the Democratic 

Party won a majority in the next election. 

In 1887, Hiscock was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he 

served through the 52nd Congress (1891–1893). As a Senator, 

he chaired the Committee on Organization, Conduct, and Expenditures of Executive Departments. An unsuccessful candidate for re-election to the Senate in 1892, Hiscock resumed 

his law practice in Syracuse, New York. At the age of 79, he 

died on June 18, 1914.

Joseph Gurney Cannon of Illinois 

Appropriations Chairman: 1889–1891; 1895–1903 

Joseph Gurney Cannon was born on 

May 7, 1836, in Guilford, North 

Carolina. He studied law at the 

Cincinnati Law School and began 

practicing in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 

1858. A year later he moved to Illinois 

and continued practice as a district 

attorney. In 1872, Cannon was elected 

as a Republican to the U.S. House of 

Representatives for the 43rd Congress 

(1873–1875). He served a total of 23 

terms in the House.

Cannon was first placed on the 

Appropriations Committee in the 46th Congress (1879–1881). In 

the 47th Congress (1881–1883), he chaired the Appropriations 

Subcommittee on Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Republicans attained a majority in the 51st Congress (1889–1891), 

and Cannon was selected to chair the full committee. He returned to chair the committee for the 54th through the 57th 

Congresses (1895–1903). 

Cannon was elected Speaker of the House at the opening of the 

58th Congress (1903–1905), and was re-elected for the following 

three terms. As Speaker, he also chaired the House Rules Committee. These positions gave Cannon almost complete control 

over the flow of legislation in the House, and he unabashedly 

used this power to enforce his policy objectives. The term 

‘‘Cannonism’’ was commonly used to describe his ironfisted rule. 

Nonetheless, Cannon was affectionately known by many of his 

colleagues as ‘‘Uncle Joe.’’ 

After a defeat in the 1912 election, Cannon returned the next 

term and served until the end of the 67th Congress (1921– 

1923). He then retired to Danville, Illinois, where he remained 

until his death on November 12, 1926.

where he attended Bastrop Military 

Institute. With the outbreak of the 

Civil War, Sayers enlisted in the 

Confederate Army, achieving the rank 

of major. After the war, he studied law

1880. 

Sayers was elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives for the 49th Congress (1885–1887). In his second

commenced practice in Boonville in 

1885. After sitting on the second 

judicial circuit of Indiana from 1886 to 

1890, Hemenway was elected as a 

Republican to the 54th Congress

succeed Speaker-elect Joseph Cannon of Illinois as the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee. 

At the close of the 58th Congress, Hemenway resigned his 

House seat on March 3, 1905, having been elected to the U.S. 

Senate to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Charles W. 

Fairbanks. He was an unsuccessful Senate candidate for reelection to the 61st Congress (1909–1911), and returned to

James Albertus Tawney was born in 

Mount Pleasant Township, Pennsylvania, on January 3, 1855. He worked 

for his father as a blacksmith and a 

machinist until moving to Winona, 

Minnesota, in 1877. Tawney attended 

the University of Wisconsin Law 

School and was admitted to the bar in 

1882. He became involved in 

Minnesota politics and won a seat in 

the Minnesota state senate in 1890. 

Two years later, he won election as a 

Republican to the U.S. House of 

Representatives for the 53rd Congress 

(1893–1895), and to the eight succeeding Congresses. 

As a Member of the House, Tawney firmly supported high tariff 

policies on local industries and developed a strong relationship 

with the leadership of the House. In the 55th Congress (1897– 

1899), Speaker Thomas Brackett Reed selected Tawney to serve 

as the official Republican Whip, making him the first Member 

of the House of either party to hold this leadership position. He 

served as Whip until the 59th Congress (1905–1907) when he 

was chosen by Speaker Joseph Cannon of Illinois to chair the 

House Appropriations Committee. Due to his support of the 

Payne-Aldrich Tariff in 1909, Tawney was defeated in his bid 

for re-election to the 62nd Congress (1911–1913). In 1911, he 

was appointed to the International Joint Commission on the 

Boundary between the United States and Canada, where he

law at the University of Michigan. 

Anthony became a journalist and was 

appointed postmaster of Leavenworth 

in 1898. He later became manager and 

editor of the Leavenworth Daily Times 

in 1904. As the nephew of Susan B. 

Anthony and the son of a father active 

in Kansas politics, there was an early 

expectation that Anthony would 

eventually pursue a career in politics. 

He was elected mayor of Leavenworth in 1903. 

As a Republican candidate, Anthony won a special election on 

May 23, 1907, to serve in the U.S. House during the 60th Congress (1907–1909). Anthony went on to serve 11 consecutive 

terms. He joined the Appropriations Committee in 1919 at the

in the House for his work on the Committee on Military Affairs, 

Anthony attained his most prestigious position in his last term. 

After the sudden passing of Martin Madden of Illinois on April 

27, 1928, Anthony succeeded him as chairman of the Appropriations Committee, wielding the gavel from May 29, 1928, until 

the conclusion of the 70th Congress (1927–1929). Anthony retired from the House in 1929 and returned to Leavenworth. He

re-elected to the House for the 19 succeeding terms. In his first 

term, Taber was placed on the Appropriations Committee, 

where his persistent efforts to slash appropriations earned him 

the nickname of ‘‘Fiscal Vigilante.’’ While originally a voice opposing U.S. international commitments, Taber came to support 

Lend-Lease and the large appropriations required to fight 

World War II. Nevertheless, he consistently opposed the domestic programs of Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. In the 80th Congress (1947–1949), when the Republican

Archival Sources 

The official records of the U.S. House of Representatives are the 

proceedings that take place on the House Floor and in committees, 

together with the administrative actions of House officers. As the 

basic evidence of House activities and decisions, the records of the 

House have legal, research, and historical value. The records of the 

1st Congress through the 109th Congress (1789–2007) are stored at 

the Center for Legislative Archives, National Archives and Records 

Administration, in downtown Washington, D.C. The records of the 

two most recent Congresses remain onsite at the House of Representatives to facilitate access by committee staff. The Center for 

Legislative Archives, in conjunction with House archivists, is responsible for preserving legislative branch records and making 

them available to researchers in accordance with access rules established by the House of Representatives. 

The holdings of the House Committee on Appropriations at the 

Center for Legislative Archives for the 39th through the 109th Congresses (1865–2007) total approximately 750 linear feet, and contain petitions, memorials, committee papers, bill files, and committee and subcommittee correspondence. The minute books and 

docket books are held in the Committee on Appropriations’ offices 

in the U.S. Capitol, as are the Journals of the Committee on Appropriations, from the 39th to the 111th Congresses (1865–2011). The 

Biographical Directory of the United States Congress (http:// 

bioguide.congress.gov) can be used to locate research collections of 

individual members of the Appropriations Committee housed at repositories throughout the country.
