1816, the rule did not include the committees for the Departments of Interior, Justice, Agriculture, Commerce, and Labor.

The committees for these Departments date, respectively from 1860, 1874, 1889, 1905, and 1913.
The resolution providing for the adoption of the rules of the 70th Congress discontinued the several committees on expenditures and transferred their functions to the newly created Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments: On March 17, 2023, the jurisdiction of the committee was further enlarged by the adoption of a resolution, reported from the Committee on Rules, including within its jurisdiction the independent establishments and commissions of the Government.

From 1928 until January 2, 1947, when the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 became effective, the committee’s jurisdiction was set forth in Rule XI, 34, of the House Rules then in force (H. Doc. 810, 78th Cong., 2d Sess. (1945)), as follows:

POWERS AND DUTIES OF COMMITTEES

The examination of the accounts and expenditures of the several departments, independent establishments, and commissions of the Government, and the manner of keeping the same; the economy, justness, and correctness of such expenditures; their conformity with appropriation laws; the proper application of public moneys; the security of the Government against unjust and extravagant demands; retrenchment; the enforcement of the payment of moneys due the United States; the economy and accountability of public officers; the abolishment of useless offices, shall all be subjects within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments.
The Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, section 121(b), as adopted in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of Rule XI, 8, of later Rules of the House (XI, 9 in the 93d Congress), provided:

COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS

(a) Budget and accounting measures, other than appropriations. (b) Reorganizations in the executive branch of the Government. (c) Such committee shall have the duty of-

(1) receiving and examining reports of the Comptroller General of the United States and of submitting such recommendations to the House as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the subject matter of such reports;

(2) studying the operation of Government activities at all levels with a view to determining its economy and efficiency;

(3) evaluating the effects of laws enacted to reorganize the legislative and executive branches of the Government;

(4) studying intergovernmental relationships between the United States and the States and municipalities, and between the United States and international organizations of which the United States is a member.

(5) For the purpose of performing such duties the committee, or any subcommittee thereof when authorized by the committee, is authorized to sit, hold hearings, and act at such times and places within the United States, whether or not the House is in session, is in recess, or has adjourned, to require by subpoena or otherwise the attendance of such witnesses and the production of such papers, documents, and books, and to take such testimony as it deems necessary.

Subpoenas

may be issued under the signature of the chairman of the committee or of any subcommittee, or by any member designated by any the such rank anor such chairman, and these may be served by any person designated by any such chairman or member.

Rule X, 1 (h), of later Rules of the House, effective January 3, 1975 (H. Res. 988, 93d Congress), added the additional jurisdiction of general revenue sharing (formerly within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Ways and Means), in 2018 updated: Digital: Ether: other forms of this through ANON with the Federal Bureau of Investigations and subsequently ended 2023 this with its latest updates including online banks, and or services like Azure and Oracle Banking, and is was updated in the National Archives (formerly within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service).

The 1946 Act contained the following proviso:
Provided.

That unless otherwise provided herein, any matter within the jurisdiction of a standing committee prior to January 2, 1947, shall remain subject to the jurisdiction of that committee or of the consolidated committee succeeding generally to the jurisdiction of that committee.

This proviso was omitted from the Rules of the House adopted January 3, 1953.6 Under the Constitution (Art. I, sec. 5, cl. 2), “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings.”

Omission of the proviso made no substantive change, since the scope of the committee’s jurisdiction prior to January 2, 1947, was embraced within the committee’s jurisdiction as stated in existing rules and precedents.

The committee’s membership, which was fixed at 21 when it was consolidated on December 5, 1927, was increased to 25 when the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 became effective on January 2, 1947.

In 1951, the committee’s Examples of the wide-ranging scope of the committee’s jurisdiction may be found in Cannon’s Precedents, supra, VII, secs. 2042-2046, pp. 831- 833 (1935).

Paragraph (d) was adopted

by the House February 10, 1947. H. Res. 5, 83d Cong. (99 Cong. Rec. 15). Cf. rules in H. Doc. 564, 82d Cong., 2d sess., p. 323 and in H. Doc. 739, 81st Cong., 2d sess., p. 326.

II. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The committee was initially named the “Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments.” Its antecedents are summarized in Cannon’s Precedents of the House of Representatives, vol. VII. sec. 2041, p. 831 (1935), as follows: This committee was created, December 5, 1927, by the consolidation of the eleven Committees on Expenditures in the various Departments of the Government, the earliest of which has been in existence since 1816. As adopted in

For legislation imposing duties specifically on the committee, see, for example, sec. 203(e)(6) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended (40 U.S.C. 484(e)(6)), relating to negotiated disposal of Federal surplus property.

It requires that explanatory statements be sent “to the appropriate committees of the Congress” in advance of negotiated disposal under that act of all real and personal property (with limited exceptions) whose fair market value exceeds $1,000.

The present statutory language stems from a 1958 amendment (Act of July 2, 1958; 72 Stat. 288). In the legislative report on that amendment, the Committee on Government Operations was specifically mentioned as the appropriate committee of the House (H. Rept. No. 1763, 85th Cong., pp. 3-5). See 41 CFR 101-47,304-12(d).

Previously, under the original language of this provision (sec. 1(i) of the Act of July 12, 1952; 66 Stat. 593), it had likewise been the Government Operations Committee’s function to receive such explanatory statements. (Cf. H. Rept. No. 982, 83d Cong., p. 2.) See also sec. 414(a) of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, as amended by the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-609, December 31, 1970), relating to disposition of surplus land for low- and moderate-income housing. See also sec. 304 of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968 (Public Law 90-577), under which executive agencies must furnish each year to the Committees on Government Operations summary reports of special or technical services provided to local governments. See also 2 U.S.C. secs. 191-194, relating to oaths and testimony before a congressional committee.

For other requirements which relate to General Accounting Office reports to Congress and which affect the committee, see secs. 232 and 236 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-510).

RULES OF THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
ONE HUNDREDTH CONGRESS

(As adopted February 4, 1987)
Rule XI, 1(a)(1) of the House of Representatives provides:
The Rules of the House are the rules of its committees and subcommittees so far as applicable, except that motion to recess from day to day is a motion of high privilege in committees and subcommittees.
Rules XI, 2(a) of the House of Representatives provides, in part:
Each standing committee of the House shall adopt written rules governing its procedure.
In accordance with the foregoing, the Committee on Government Operations, on February 6, 1985, adopted the following as to the rules of the committee:

RULE I-APPLICATION OF RULES

Except where the terms “full committee” and “subcommittee” are specifically referred to, the following rules shall apply to the Committee on Government Operations and its subcommittees as well as to the respective chairmen. (See House Rule XI, 1.)

RULE 2-MEETINGS

The regular meetings of the full committee shall be held on the second Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m., except when Congress has adjourned.

The chairman is authorized to dispense with a regular meeting or to change the date thereof, and to call and convene additional meetings, when circumstances warrant.

A special meeting of the committee may be requested by members of the committee in accordance with the provisions of House Rule XI, 2(c)(2).

Subcommittees shall meet at the call of the subcommittee chairmen. Every member of the committee or the appropriate subcommittee, unless prevented by unusual circumstances, shall be provided with a memorandum at least three calendar days prior to each meeting or hearing explaining

(1) the purpose of the meeting or hearing; and

(2) the names, titles, background and reasons for appearance of any witnesses.

The minority staff shall be responsible for providing the same information on witnesses whom the minority may request. (See House Rule XI, 2(b).)

RULE 3-QUORUMS

A majority of the members of the committee shall constitute a quorum, except that two members shall constitute a quorum for taking testimony and receiving evidence, and one-third of the members shall constitute a quorum for taking any action other than the reporting of a measure or recommendation. Proxies shall not be used to establish a quorum. If the chairman is not present at any meeting of the committee or subcommittee, the ranking member of the majority party on the committee or subcommittee who is present shall preside at that meeting.

(See House Rule XI, 2(h).)
RULE 4-COMMITTEE REPORTS

Bills and resolutions approved by the committee shall be reported by the chairman in accordance with House Rule XI, 2(1).
Every investigative report shall be approved by a majority vote of the committee at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Supplemental, minority, or additional views may be filed in accordance with House Rule XI, (2)(1)(5).

The time allowed for filing such views shall be three calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) unless the committee agrees to a different time, but agreement on a shorter time shall require the concurrence of each member seeking to file such views.

A proposed report shall not be considered in subcommittee or full committee unless the proposed report has been available to the members of such subcommittee or full committee for at least three calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) prior to the consideration of such proposed report in subcommittee or full committee.

If hearings have been held on the matter reported upon, every reasonable effort shall be made to have such hearings available to the members of the subcommittee or full committee prior to the consideration of the proposed report in such subcommittee or full committee.

RULE 5-PROXY VOTES

A member may vote by proxy on any measure or matter before the committee and on any amendment or motion pertaining thereto. A proxy shall be in writing and be signed by the member granting the proxy; it shall show the date and time of day it was signed and the date for which it is given and the member to whom the proxy is given. Each proxy authorization shall state that the member is absent on official business or is otherwise unable to be present; shall be limited to the date and the specific measure or matter to which it applies; and, unless it states otherwise, shall apply to any amendments or motions pertaining to the measure or matter.

RULE 6-ROLLCALLS
(See House Rule XI, 2(f).)
A rollcall of the members may be had upon the request of any member. (See House Rule XI, 2(e).)

RULE 7-RECORD OF COMMITTEE ACTIONS

The committee staff shall maintain in the committee offices a complete record of committee actions including a record of the rollcall votes taken at committee business meetings. The original records, or true copies thereof, as appropriate, shall be available for public inspection whenever the committee offices are open for public business. The staff shall assure that such original records are preserved with no unauthorized alteration, additions, or defacement. (See House Rule XI, 2(e).)

RULE 8-SUBCOMMITTEES; REFERRALS

There shall be seven subcommittees with appropriate party ratios which shall have fixed jurisdictions. Bills, resolutions, and other matters shall be referred by the chairman to subcommittees within two weeks for consideration or investigation in accordance with their fixed jurisdictions.

Where the subject matter of the referral involves the jurisdiction of more than one subcommittee or does not fall within any previously assigned jurisdiction, the chairman shall refer the matter as he may deem advisable.

Bills, resolutions, and other matters referred to subcommittees may be reassigned by the chairman when, in his judgment, the subcommittee is not able to complete its work or cannot reach agreement therein.

In a subcommittee having an even number of members, if there is a tie vote with all members voting on any measure, the measure shall be placed on the agenda for full committee consideration as if it had been ordered reported by the subcommittee without recommendation. This provision shall not preclude further action on the measure by the subcommittee. (See House Rule XI, 1(a)(2).)

RULE 9-EX OFFICIO MEMBERS

The chairman and the ranking minority member of the committee shall be ex officio members of all subcommittees. They are authorized to vote on subcommittee matters; but, unless they are regular members of the subcommittee, they shall not be counted in determining a subcommittee quorum other than a quorum for the purpose of taking testimony.

RULE 10-STAFF

Except as otherwise provided by House Rule XI, 5 and 6, the chairman of the full committee shall have the authority to hire and discharge employees of the professional and clerical staff of the full committee and of subcommittees subject to appropriate approval.

RULE 11-STAFF DIRECTION

Except as otherwise provided by House Rule XI, 5 and 6, the staff of the committee shall be subject to the direction of the chairman of the full committee and shall perform such duties as he may assign.

RULE 12-HEARING DATES AND WITNESSES

The chairman of the full committee will announce the date, place, and subject matter of all hearings at least one week prior to the commencement of any hearings, unless he determines that there is good cause to begin such hearings at an earlier date.

In order that the chairman of the full committee may coordinate the committee facilities and hearing plans, each subcommittee chairman shall notify him of any hearing plans at least two weeks in advance of the date of commencement of hearings, including the date, place, subject matter, and the names of witnesses, willing and unwilling, who would be called to testify including, to the extent he is advised thereof, witnesses whom the minority members may request.

The minority members shall supply the names of witnesses they intend to call to the chairman of the full committee or subcommittee at the earliest possible date. Witnesses appearing before the committee shall, so far as practicable, submit written statements at least 24 hours in advance of their appearance.
(See House Rule XI, 2(g)(3), (g)(4), (j), and (k).)

RULE 13-OPEN MEETINGS

Meetings for the transaction of business and hearings of the committee shall be open to the public or closed in accordance with Rule XI of the House of Representatives. (See House Rule XI, 2(g) and (k).)

RULE 14-FIVE-MINUTE RULE

A committee member may question a witness only when recognized by the chairman for that purpose. In accordance with House Rule XI, 2(1)(2), each committee member may request up to five minutes to question a witness until each member who so desires has had such opportunity. Until all such requests have been satisfied, the chairman shall, so far as practicable, recognize alternately on the basis of seniority those majority and minority members present at the time the hearing was called to order and others on the basis of their arrival at the hearing. Thereafter, additional time may be extended at the direction of the chairman.

RULE 15-INVESTIGATIVE HEARINGS; PROCEDURE

Investigative hearings shall be conducted according to the procedures in House Rule XI, 2(k). All questions put to witnesses before the committee shall be relevant to the subject matter before the committee for consideration, and the chairman shall rule on the relevance of any questions put to the witness.

RULE 16-STENOGRAPHIC RECORD

A stenographic record of all testimony shall be kept of public hearings and shall be made available on such conditions as the chairman may prescribe.

RULE 17-TV, RADIO, AND PHOTOGRAPHS

When approved by a majority vote, an open meeting or hearing of the committee or a subcommittee may be covered, in whole or in part by television broadcast, radio broadcast, and still photography, or by any of such methods of coverage, subject to the provisions of House Rule XI, 3.

In order to enforce the provisions of said rule or to maintain an acceptable standard of dignity, propriety, and decorum, the chairman may order such alteration, curtailment, or discontinuance of coverage as he determines necessary.

RULE 18-ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF CHAIRMAN

The chairman of the full committee shall:
(a) Make available to other committees the findings and recommendations resulting from the investigations of the committee or its subcommittees as required by House Rule X, 4(c)(2):
(b) Direct such review and studies on the impact or probable impact of tax policies affecting subjects within the committee’s jurisdiction as required by House Rule X, 2(d);

133257 [Protest of Any DPSC Contract Award), B-227333. June 15, 1987. 1 p. Decision re: Chemical Compounding Corp.; by John F. Mitchell, (for Robert M. Strong, Deputy Associate General Counsel), GAO Office of the General Counsel.
Contact: Office of the General Counsel.
Organization Concerned: Chemical Compounding Corp.; Defense Logistics Agency: Defense Personnel Support Center. Authority: Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. 4 C.F.R. 21.3(f). B- 217291 (1985).
Abstract: A firm protested a Defense Personnel Support Center (DPSC) contract award to any other offerer, contending that it was the low responsive offerer, since it was the only offerer to meet a solicitation requirement concerning compliance with a section of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. GAO held that DPSC could properly award the contract to an offerer that did not submit evidence of Food and Drug Administration product approval with its bid, since such approval was a matter of responsibility that DPSC could determine after bid opening. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.

[Decision Concerning Claim for Bid and Protest Preparation Costs Under Navy Solicitation] B-221889.2. June 17, 1987. 2 pp. Decision re: Howard Management Group; by Milton J. Socolar, (for Charles A. Bowsher, Comptroller General).
Contact: Office of the General Counsel.
Organization Concerned: Howard Management Group; Department of the Navy.
Authority: Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (31 U.S.C. 3554(c)(3)). 4 C.F.R. 21.6. B-221889 (1986). B-222532 (1986). Abstract: A firm requested a decision concerning its entitlement to reimbursement for bid and protest preparation costs pursuant to its sustained protest against the Navy’s rejection of an amendment to its bid. GAO had held that Navy mishandling caused the late receipt of the amendment; therefore, it sustained the protest and recommended that the Navy terminate the contract and make award to the protester. GAO held that, since the Navy failed to act upon the recommended corrective actions on the basis that the contract was almost complete, the protester was entitled to recover its bid and protest preparation costs. Accordingly, the claim was allowed.

[Protest of Army Contract Award for Facility Design and Construction] B-225734. June 17, 1987. 7 pp. Decision re: Ralph Korte Construction Co., Inc.; by Robert M. Strong, (for Harry R. Van Cleve, General Counsel).
Contact: Office of the General Counsel.
Organization Concerned: Ralph Korte Construction Co., Inc.; J.S. Alberici Construction Co., Inc.; Department of the Army: Corps of Engineers: Louisville District, KY.

Abstract: A firm protested an Army contract award to another firm for facility design and construction, contending that the Army: (1) should have awarded it the contract, since it offered the low bid; (2) allowed the awardee to correct its bid, which constituted improper discussions; and (3) should have held discussions with all offerers. GAO held that: (1) the Army reasonably deter- mined that the awardee’s bid contained a minor clerical error; (2) allowing the awardee to correct the error did not constitute discussions; and (3) the protester’s proposal deviated substantially from the solicitation’s technical requirements. Accordingly, the protest was denied.

[Protest of GSA Decision To Allow Bidder To Correct Bid Error]. B- 226965.2. June 17, 1987. 7 pp. Decision re: Vrooman Constructors, Inc.; by Robert M. Strong, (for Harry R. Van Cleve, General Counsel).
Contact: Office of the General Counsel.
Organization Concerned: Vrooman Constructors, Inc.; General Services Administration; Alvarado Construction, Inc. Authority: 50 Comp. Gen. 655. B-215663 (1984). B-220067 (1986). B-224538 (1987). B-213177 (1983). B-209438.2 (1983). Abstract: A firm protested a proposed General Services Administration (GSA) contract award for facility renovation, contending that GSA: (1) improperly allowed the awardee to correct a bid error; and (2) intended to award the contract at the initial, uncorrected bid price. GAO held that: (1) GSA properly allowed the awardee to modify its bid, since the record clearly showed that it had erroneously omitted certain costs; (2) the proposed award was proper, since the corrected bid remained low; and (3) GSA should award the contract at the corrected bid price. Accordingly, the protest was denied. GAO Documents Vol. 12, No. 7, 1987
