Talk:Joint Committee on the Library

From dKosopedia

I was poking around the House rules, and found this on page 450:

Under <<NOTE: Sec. 727. Library.>> the Reorganization Act the committee has jurisdiction of some of the subjects formerly within the jurisdiction of the Joint Committee on the Library, such as matters relating to the Library of Congress and the House Library, statuary and pictures, acceptance or purchase of works of art for the Capitol, the Botanic Gardens, management of the Library of Congress, purchase of books and manuscripts, matters relating to the Smithsonian Institution, and the incorporation of similar institutions. Excepted are measures relating to the construction or reconstruction, maintenance, and care of the buildings and grounds of the Botanic Gardens, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian Institution, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Transportation (now Transportation and Infrastructure). The House Members of the Joint Committee on the Library, provided for by law (2 U.S.C. 132b), are elected by resolution each Congress.

Looks like the membership for this committee is controlled differently than other committees, perhaps since it is a joint committee, or maybe because it is so old.--Greenreflex 23:12, 9 December 2006 (PST)
