The 94th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, DC from January 3, 1975, to January 3, 1977, during the last two years of the administration of U.S. President Gerald Ford.
This is the first congress for the currently (as of the 117th) longest serving senator, Patrick Leahy of Vermont.
This is the most recent Congress with a Republican Senator from Hawaii, Hiram Fong who retired at the end of the 94th Congress.
The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the Nineteenth Census of the United States in 1970.
The Democrats not only maintained their majorities in the House and Senate, but would increase their numbers to supermajority status in both chambers.
This is the most recent congress to contain no female senators at any time (the 95th would feature three female senators who served brief appointed terms).[1]
