		Senator Joseph McCarthy's continued string of reckless charges of communism in government created such a sensation that the Senate appointed a special committee under Millard E.

	Smart Talk: Capitol Quacks - A Look at Lame Duck Congresses
		Another noteworthy lame duck session took place in 1954, when the Senate reconvened for a special session that lasted from November 8 to December 2, 1954 -- just long enough to condemn famed anti-Communist red-baiter Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (R-WI) by adopting a resolution censuring him for "conduct.
		As legislators returned to Capitol Hill for the lame duck session, there was speculation that action might be completed on a $39 billion tax cut package favored both by Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd and the G.O.P.'s Bob Dole, but Carter pledged to veto such a bill.
		In another preemptive move by Democrats, a scaled-down version of President Carter's 1979 "superfund" proposal for toxic waste clean-up was approved by the House on December 3 after barely passing in the Senate (confirming Democrats' concerns that the bill would have been doomed in the new G.O.P.-held Senate).

	Joseph Raymond McCarthy
		After this rebuke, and with the Democrats again in control of Congress after the 1954 elections, McCarthy's influence in the Senate and on the national scene steadily diminished until his death.
		However, in December the Senate, acting on a motion of censure against him, voted to “condemn” McCarthy for contempt of a Senate elections subcommittee that had investigated his conduct and financial affairs in 1952, for abuse of certain senators, and for insults to the Senate itself during the censure proceedings.
		Although a Senate investigating committee under Millard Tydings exonerated the State Dept. and branded the charges a fraud and a hoax, McCarthy repeated his claims in a series of radio and television appearances.

		This tactic was successful and the DLP lost all its Senate seats at the May 1974 election.
		Since the ALP and the conservative parties usually held approximately equal numbers of seats in the Senate, the DLP was able to use balance of power in the Senate to extract concessions from Liberal governments, particularly government grants to Catholic schools, greater spending on defence and non-recognition of the People's Republic of China.

	With unfinished business piling up, lame-duck session likely
		There have been some notable lame ducks: In 1954 the Senate reconvened to censure Sen. Joseph McCarthy for his investigations into alleged communist sympathizers, and in 1998 the House came back in session to impeach President Clinton on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.
		The lame ducks, originally an English term referring to bankrupt businessmen, are lawmakers who are retiring or have had their wings clipped by an election defeat and are hardly in the mood for another stint on Capitol Hill.
		This lame duck session, if it occurs, would be the 15th since 1940 and the fourth straight from the 1998 election year.
