A BRIEF HISTORY
of the
COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
------------
The Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik 1, into orbit
on October 4, 1957, initiating the ``Space Race.'' When the 85th
Congress reconvened in 1958, one of its first tasks was the creation of
a Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration. This Select
Committee wrote the Space Act, which established the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the permanent House
Committee on Science and Astronautics, the forerunner of the present
Committee on Science and Technology.
The Science and Astronautics Committee was the first standing
committee created in the House in 11 years and the first committee since
1892 to be established for an entirely new area of jurisdiction. The
Committee's initial jurisdiction included exploration and control of
outer space, astronautical research and development, scientific research
and development, science scholarships and legislation relating to
scientific agencies. The scientific agencies under the Committee
initially included the National Bureau of Standards (now the National
Institute of Standards and Technology), NASA, the National Aeronautics
and Space Council, and the National Science Foundation.
In 1974, the Committee's name was changed to the Committee on
Science and Technology. At that time, the Committee's jurisdiction was
expanded to include legislation related to energy, the environment, the
atmosphere, civil aviation research and development and the National
Weather Service. The Committee on Science and Technology was also given
a ``special oversight'' function providing for exclusive responsibility
among all Congressional Standing Committees to review and study, on a
continuing basis, all laws, programs and government activities involving
Federal non-military research and development.
Civilian nuclear research and development was added to the
Committee's jurisdiction in 1977 when the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy was abolished. The name was again changed at the outset of the
100th Congress to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. The
Republican Party took control of the House in 1995 and officially
changed the name of the Committee to the Committee on Science.
In its early years, the Committee was an important partner in the
Apollo Program that led to a man landing on the moon and strengthening
science education and scientific research. After the Committee's role
expanded, the Committee has played an important role in much of the
legislation Congress has considered dealing with domestic and
international science, technology, standards and competitiveness.
Members of the Committee have gone on to play important roles in
Congress and the Executive Branch. Alumni of the Select Committee and
the Science Committee have included President Ford, Vice President Gore,
Senate Majority Leader Reid, Commerce and Transportation Secretary
Mineta and Agriculture Secretary Glickman.
Congressman Bart Gordon (D-TN) was named Chairman of the Committee
when Democrats resumed control of Congress in 2007. He subsequently
brought the Committee back to its roots with a return to the name of
Committee on Science and Technology--a move made to better reflect the
broad jurisdiction of the panel.
In the 110th Congress, the Committee is composed of five
subcommittees: Energy & Environment; Technology & Innovation; Research &
Science Education; Space & Aeronautics; and Investigations & Oversight.
