Summary:
This report provides data on the number of full committee hearings conducted by the
standing committees of the House of Representatives during the 107th
-117
th Congresses
(2001-2022), as indicated by the activity reports that committees are required to file
pursuant to House Rule XI, clause 1. The information listed in this report’s tables is
from these individual committee activity reports produced during each Congress.
This report does not attempt to provide an assessment of the productivity for individual House standing
committees, but rather provides a historical account of the number of full hearings—including legislative,
oversight, field, and investigative hearings—conducted by these committees. Also, the report does not include
numbers of subcommittee hearings, and in several committees, more hearings took place in subcommittees than in
the full committee. In addition, the report does not attempt to verify data provided by individual committees or
normalize data across committees.
For additional information concerning the type of information found in committee activity reports and types of
congressional hearings, see CRS Report R45104, Guide to Committee Activity Reports: Purpose, Rules, and
Contents, by Ida A. Brudnick; and CRS Report 98-317, Types of Committee Hearings, by Valerie Heitshusen.
