United States Senate Committee on Industrial Expositions

United States Senate Committee on Industrial Expositions

The Senate Committee on Industrial Expositions was a committee of the United States Senate between 1899 and 1921.[1][2] It was originally established as a select committee, but became a standing committee in 1909.[3] It was preceded by three other select committees.[4]

History

The committee's roots date back to 1885 during the 49th Congress, when the Senate established a select committee to celebrate the centennial of the United States Constitution and the 400th Anniversary of the discovery of America.[4] Beginning with the 52nd Congress (1891 – 1893), this committee was renamed the Select Committee on the Quadro-Centennial, and again at the start of the 54th Congress (1895 – 1897) as the Select Committee on International Expositions. "International" was changed to "Industrial" during the 56th Congress (1899 – 1901). The committees were charged with overseeing celebrations and expositions commemorating historic events.[5]

The committee became a standing committee in 1909 when Senator Nelson Aldrich of Rhode Island submitted a resolution that had the effect of giving all current select committees, including Industrial Expositions, full committee status. The committee was abolished in 1921, along with many other obsolete committees.[3]
