History of the Committee on Energy and Commerce
On December 14, 1795, in the 4th Congress, the
House of Representatives created a new standing committee, the Committee on
Commerce and Manufactures, to “take into consideration all such petitions and
matters of things touching the commerce and manufactures of the United
States.” This Committee was comprised of
only seven members, all of whom held significant interest in the shipping and
manufacturing industries. In 1819, because there was a desire to focus the
Committee’s energies on the increasing scope and complexity of American
commercial activity, the Committee was split into two separate
Committees -- the Committee on Commerce and the Committee on Manufacturers. In 1891,
the name of the Committee was changed to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce. The Committee retained this
title until year 1981, when the
Committee’s name was changed to its present name -- the Committee on Energy and
Commerce -- to emphasize its lead role in guiding the energy policy of the United States.
Today the Committee on Energy and
Commerce is one of the oldest and largest standing Committee’s in the House of
Representatives and has 57 members.
During the
first few sessions of the United States Congress, the House of Representatives
developed a few methods to address petitions and claims: through creating a
select committee to address the specific claim, cooperating with the Department
of Treasury to work out a solution, by creating a select committee, or considering
the petition or claim in the (Committee of the) Whole House. As more and more claims and petitions were
submitted to Congress, it became apparent that Congress needed to find new ways
to address the increased workload. The
legislative branch, in an effort to increase efficiency and exert independence
from the executive branch, established several standing or permanent Committees
to address the claims that came before the House of Representatives.
International
trade issues dominated the agenda, but dealing with domestic claims was also an
essential function of the Committee. Domestic
legislation dealt mostly with the establishment of ports of entry, the
placement of piers, buoys, and lighthouses and the creation of a system for import
duty collection. A large number of
claims also addressed military back pay and pensions from the Revolutionary
War. Just as they do today, Members of
Congress considered the merits of all claims and drafted reports and bills
based on those claims and forwarded the information to the House. During the Fourth Congress, the Committee
forwarded 111 bills.
Just as the
organization of Congress has shifted again and again, the Committee on Energy
and Commerce has seen many changes in its 218 years. When the Fourth Congress created the
Committee, it was one of only four standing Committees along with the Committee
on Elections, the Committee on Revisal and Unfinished Business, and the
Committee on Claims. As other committees
were created in subsequent Congresses, the Committee lost some of its original
jurisdiction. During the sixteenth
Congress (1819-1821) the Committee relinquished jurisdiction over manufacturing
issues with the creation of the Committee on Manufactures. The Committee on Commerce, as it was renamed,
maintained a focus on regulation of trade and commerce.
Interstate
commerce increased dramatically during the 1860s as a result of a newly
completed cross-country railroad network.
In 1887 the Interstate Commerce Commission was created to oversee the
railroad industry. The agency fell under
the Committee’s jurisdiction and set a precedent for government regulatory
function. During the 74th
Congress the Committee expanded its jurisdiction to include radio-related
matters but also gave away its jurisdiction over water transportation, the
Coast Guard, lighthouses, and the Panama Canal.
The 1946
Legislative Reorganization Act formalized the Committee’s jurisdiction to include
general interstate and foreign commerce issues.
During this time interstate and foreign commerce related to interstate
oil compacts, energy resources on public lands, securities and exchanges,
interstate power transmission, public health and quarantine, some regulation of
interstate and foreign transportation, railroad labor, inland waterways, civil
aeronautics, the Weather Bureau, the Bureau of Standards and weights and
measure standards. Jurisdiction over the
Bureau of Standards, weights and measures, and the metric system were
transferred from the Committee on Energy and Commerce to the newly created
Committee on Science and Astronautics (today’s Committee on Science and
Technology).
In 1974 the
Committee Reform Amendments gave the Committee many of the jurisdictional
responsibilities it has today: consumer affairs and protection, health care and
facilities, and biomedical research.
Further reforms made during the 96th Congress gave the
Committee jurisdiction over energy policy and oversight over the Department of
Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission which currently dominates
the agenda. Minor changes in the 104th
and 107th Congresses refined the scope of the Committee’s
jurisdiction over energy issues and granted jurisdiction over securities and exchanges
to the Committee on Financial Services.
Over the 200
plus years of its existence the Committee on Energy and Commerce has handled several
pieces of landmark legislation including the Public Health Service Act, the
Social Security Act, the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, the NAFTA
Implementation Act, the Energy Policy Act, and the Safe Drinking Water Act.
