Hispanic Americans Who Have Chaired Subcommittees of Standing Committees in the U.S. House
This table is based on information drawn from the Congressional Directory, various historical directories, and the United States Code Congressional and Administrative News.
Information on subcommittees prior to the Legislative Re-Organization Act of 1946 is not available in the published record. A complete analysis of the pre-1947 period awaits a thorough study of committee minute books, which are deposited at the Center for Legislative Archives, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Not all committee records for this period are complete because the House and Senate did not have a formal process for transferring committee records to NARA until the Legislative Re-Organization Act of 1946 took effect.
