Committees and Caucuses

Committee Assignments

• House Committee on Ways and Means
  • The Ways and Means Committee is the chief tax-writing committee in the House of Representatives.  As an Executive Committee, members of Congress historically serve exclusively on Ways and Means.  The Committee has jurisdiction over all taxation, trade, tariffs, and other revenue-raising measures, as well as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment benefits, child and family support laws, and adoption and foster care programs. The committee has six subcommittees pertaining to issues in health, human resources, oversight, tax policy, social security, and trade.
  • The Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade is responsible for matters related to international trade, including customs, tariffs, reciprocal trade agreements, and international trade rules and organizations.  The subcommittee also addresses issues involving market access, competitive industry conditions, export policy, and bilateral trade relations including trade with developing countries.
• House Committee on the Budget
  • The House Committee on the Budget's chief responsibility is to draft an annual concurrent resolution on the budget that provides a Congressional framework for spending and revenue levels, the federal surplus or deficit, and public debt. The budget resolution can contain reconciliation instructions directing authorizing committees to change laws in their jurisdiction to change revenues or mandatory spending levels.  The resolution also can include mechanisms that aid in enforcing budget procedures in general or for particular purposes.  In drafting the budget resolution, the Committee examines the President’s annual budget request, as well as economic and fiscal projections from the Congressional Budget Office.  The Committee also has jurisdiction over budget process laws and tracks the budgetary effects of legislative action.
