7 Note: In some years since 1993, the Indian Affairs committee has been counted as a standing committee, and in others it has been counted as a special/select committee. This is the reason for the fluctuation in those two numbers. Going forward, we have decided to count the Indian Affairs committee as a standing committee. The numbers in this table and tables 4-5, 4-7, and 4-8 will be changed to reflect that determination going back to 1993 in a future update Source: Nelson, Garrison, Committees in the U.S. Congress , Committee Jurisdictions and Member Rosters (Washington, D.C.: Congressional Quarterly, 1993); Congressional Quarterly Committee Guide, Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report, various issues; U.S. Senate, 6
