HRES 78 United States House · 118th Congress

Providing for a certain total number of members on certain select committees and subcommittees, and for other purposes.

HRES 78 adjusts membership limits for four specific House committees and subcommittees. It increases the total members for the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (from 22 to 25) and the Select Committee on China Competition (from 16 to 24), while also raising limits for two subcommittees focused on government weaponization and the coronavirus pandemic. The changes include updated rules for how many members can be from the same party and how many minority leader consultations are required for appointments. This resolution directly affects the staffing structure of these committees, altering their composition without changing their policy functions.
