History


The Committee has its roots in the Committee on Commerce and Manufacturers, which served as a standing committee in the early-1800s. This committee was split in two in the 1820s and remained in this configuration until the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946. Under the LRA, the number of standing committees was dramatically decreased to streamline increase congressional efficiency and increase institutional strength. As a result, the Committee on Commerce, the Committee on Manufactures, the Committee on Interstate Commerce, and the Committee on Interoceanic Canals were combined into the United States Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. In 1977, as a part of widespread committee reorganization, the Committee renamed the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation and given additional oversight jurisdiction over nonmilitary aeronautical and space sciences, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).


The original progenitors of this committee were:



  • United States Senate Committee on Commerce and Manufactures (1816–1825)


  • United States Senate Committee on Commerce (1825–1946, 1961–1977)


  • United States Senate Committee on Manufactures (1825–1855, 1864–1946)


  • United States Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce (1885–1946)


  • United States Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals (1899–1946)


  • United States Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce (1946–1961)


  • United States Senate Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences (1958–1977)
