Object Details

At the start of the 94th Congress (1975–1977), Texas Congresswoman Barbara Charline Jordan was appointed to the influential House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. This appointment helped Ebony magazine declare that Jordan was “indeed a new power on Capitol Hill” in this February 1975 issue. House steering committees—the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, as well as the Republican Steering Committee—determine which Members serve on which House committees.
