Seniority System Seems Out but Still Guides Chairs
Senate leaders say the chamber abandoned the seniority system yet committee chairs and top ranks largely favor the most senior members. Democrats and Republicans elected chairmen with little opposition, except when seniority already held other top posts. A notable case split Foreign Relations ranking between Humphrey and McGovern, decided by McGovern’s longer uninterrupted service. Republicans likewise let GOP committee members elect their ranking member, pending caucus approval.

Reid proposes a congressional budget office to curb presidential power
Washington AP A plan by Rep. Rep Ogden Reid would create an office of budget and expenditure oversight within a restructured GAO. It would be an arm of Congress with power to withhold funds compel executive spending and oversee administration of congressionally approved programs. Reid says it would restore legislative prerogatives and require the executive to provide needed information. A Senate House committee weighs annual spending ceilings amid past impoundments and Nixon authority.
