	Republican Conference of the United States Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Republican Conference of the United States Senate is a descendant of the early American party caucus that decided party policies, approved appointees, and selected candidates.
		The Conference began to acquire significance, however, with the election of Senator William B. Allison of Iowa as Chairman in 1897, and during the terms of successors such as Senator Orville H. Platt of Connecticut and Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island.
		The Republican Conference has never been a caucus in the dictionary sense, that is, a "partisan legislative group that uses caucus procedures to make decisions binding on its members." Even during the tense years of Reconstruction, Republican Senators were not bound to vote according to Conference decisions.

	The Republican Policy Committee - About (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Republicans established the Policy Committee by Conference Resolution on January 26, 1949.
		In 1959, the Conference unanimously elected Rep. John Byrnes (WI), the ranking Republican on the Ways & Means Committee, as chairman after junior Members sought to strengthen the Committee to modernize GOP policy.
		The Policy Committee is comprised of the elected and appointed Republican Leadership; the chairmen of five key committees (Appropriations, Budget, Commerce, Rules, and Ways and Means); Representatives elected from each of the Nation's regions; three Representatives elected by the two newest classes of Members; and at-large members appointed by the Speaker.

	House Leadership Seeks To Invoke "Martial Law," Forcing Members To Vote On Key Budget Bills Without Full ...
		Although the Leadership’s schedule calls for Members of the House to have to vote on these conference reports today, the Leadership has not revealed exactly what changes have been made in the reconciliation bill or exactly what matters are being added to the defense appropriation bill.
		House Members also may be asked to vote on the defense appropriation bill before they have the opportunity to understand fully what has been inserted into it.
		The House leadership is using a parliamentary gambit to evade a longstanding House rule that is supposed to ensure that this kind of obfuscation does not occur.

		The Speaker acts as leader of the House and combines several roles: the institutional role of presiding officer and administrative head of the House, the partisan role of leader of the majority party in the House, and the representative role of an elected Member of the House.
		House Democrats refer to their organization as the Democratic Caucus, while House Republicans refer to their organization as the House Republican Conference.The party caucus or conference officially elects party floor leaders; the party whips nominate each party's candidates for the Speakership and other offices in the House.
		The chairs of the party committees are generally elected by the party caucus or conference; the exception is the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee which is chaired by the Speaker of the House (when the Democrats are in the majority) or by the Democratic Floor Leader (when they are in the minority).

	USNews.com: Opinion: Michael Barone: Barone Blog: The House Republican leadership race
		House Republicans are going to have an election soon to replace Tom DeLay as majority leader.
		But let's remember also that the early 1990s scandals—the House bank, etc.—did hurt members of both parties in the 1992 election, which as I recall was one of the very few elections in American history in which the average percentages of the vote won by incumbents of both parties declined.
		(Usually, when Republican incumbents' average percentage declines, Democratic incumbents' average percentage rises, and vice versa, for fairly obvious reasons.) It was only in 1994 that a combination of issues, including some scandal-type issues, resulted in a smashing defeat for the Democrats after they had held majorities in the House for 40 consecutive years.

	Speaker of the House (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In addition, the Speaker is empowered to make nominations directly for the Republican Conference's consideration for membership (including chairs) on the Rules Committee and the House Administration Committee, as well as the chair and one Member (to serve as the second ranking Republican) on the Budget Committee.
		A Member of the elected or designated Republican Leadership has an obligation, to the best of his/her ability, to support positions adopted by the Conference, and the resources of the Leadership shall be utilized to support that position.
		For example, they publicize their party's policies and achievements (by giving speeches, appearing on radio and television, holding press conferences, etc.); assist party members who are seeking reelection; and, when the majority in the House is not the same party as the President, they act as a spokesman for the loyal opposition.

		The hierarchy of leadership in the conference follows this procedure: The majority party, for the present, the Republicans, has the votes to elect the Speaker of the House, who is the leader of the entire chamber.
		Within the conference, the leadership decides who will be chairmen of committees, subcommittee chairmen, and which members will sit on which committee.
		It is highly unusual for a House Republican to insert a last-minute contentious provision that has never gone through a committee, never faced a House vote and never been approved by the speaker or majority leader.

	GOP Pushes Rule Change to Protect DeLay's Post (washingtonpost.com)
		House Republicans proposed changing their rules last night to allow members indicted by state grand juries to remain in a leadership post, a move that would benefit Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) in case he is charged by a Texas grand jury that has indicted three of his political associates, according to GOP leaders.
		House Republicans adopted the indictment rule in 1993, when they were trying to end four decades of Democratic control of the House, in part by highlighting Democrats' ethical lapses.
		House Republicans recognize that DeLay fought fiercely to widen their majority, and they are eager to protect him from an Austin-based investigation they view as baseless and partisan, said Rep. Eric I. Cantor (Va.), the GOP's chief deputy whip.
