United States Senate Committee on Corporations Organized in the District of Columbia
The United States Senate Committee on Corporations Organized in the District of Columbia was formed as a select committee in 1892, and became a standing committee in 1896. In 1921, it was abolished.[1]
Robert M. La Follette had the distinction of chairing the committee during the 63rd through the 65th Congress, even though he was a member of the minority Republican Party. This was because the Senate had 73 standing committees in the 63rd Congress,[2] several more than there were Democrats to chair them. Therefore, some members of the minority party were allowed to chair certain minor committees.[3]
