                                 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.
