HOUSE RESOLUTION 209, TO TRANSFER THE OFFICE OF THE HISTORIAN OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO THE CLERK; AND TO CONDUCT OVERSIGHT OF HOUSE RULE XXXVI, PRESERVATION AND AVAILABILITY OF NONCURRENT RECORDS OF THE HOUSE

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1989

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

SUBCOMMITTEE ON RULES OF THE HOUSE,

COMMITTEE ON RULES,
Washington, DC.

The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10:05 a.m., in room H-313, the Capitol, Hon. John Joseph Moakley (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Present: Representatives Moakley, Bonior, Slaughter, and Solo

mon.

Mr. MOAKLEY. The Subcommittee on Rules of the House will now come to order.

OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. JOHN JOSEPH MOAKLEY, CHAIRMAN OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON RULES OF THE HOUSE Mr. MOAKLEY. This morning, the Subcommittee on Rules of the House will consider House Resolution 209, to amend Rules 1 and 3 of the House of Representatives, to transfer the Office of the Historian to the Clerk of the House.

As you know, on December 17, 1982, the House established a special, temporary Office for the Bicentennial of the House of Representatives to create and oversee the many activities planned to commemorate this very important anniversary of our legislative branch of Government.

Throughout this period, it became apparent that the bicentennial office was necessary, not only for its original purpose, but also to fill a void that has existed in the House of Representatives since its inception:

The need for an office whose primary purpose is to manage and preserve the papers of the House as well as to document the events and policies of the House in an historical perspective, with particular attention given to the role of the House of Representatives and its individual members in our Nation's growth and development. The Senate, since 1975, has had in place a permanent Historian as well as a full-time archivist for this purpose.
