Abstract: | This dataset contains variables describing congressional
service and selected biographical characteristics for each person who has
served in the United States Congress. This release of the data includes members
of the 104th Congress, through November 27, 1996. Approximately 11,455
individuals are represented in this file. A data record exists for every
Congress in which an individual served, as well as for each chamber in which a
person may have served in a given Congress. To illustrate, a member of the
House of Representatives appointed to fill a vacancy in the Senate during a
term of service will have two data records for that Congress. There are no
records for territorial delegates or for service in the Continental Congress.
Each record contains 104 variables that uniquely identify the member, provide
biographical information, and describe aspects of the member's career. Some
variables relate only to the Congress of record, that is, the Congress
identified by Variable V2. Other variables are cumulative in nature, and are
updated from Congress to Congress. Identification variables include an
identification number assigned by ICPSR and the name of the Member. Service
variables include political party affiliation, Senate class or House district,
state and region represented, and exact and cumulative dates of service in each
Congress and each Chamber, as well as total congressional service. The
biographical variables include state and region of birth, education, military
service, occupation, other political offices held, reason for leaving each
Congress, and occupation and political offices held subsequent to leaving
Congress. Many of these particular variables are summarized in a collapsed
variable. The termination-of-service variable (V44) is a useful filter for the
analyst interested in accessing only the final summary record for each member
who has served in Congress. With this filter, the researcher may produce a
subset of this dataset that will closely resemble the original "McKibbin" file,
where there was one record per member of Congress. The Congress (V2) and
Chamber (V3) variables are useful filters for one wishing to obtain frequencies
in just the House or Senate over a particular span of time. The occupancy
variable (V43) enables one to reconstruct a Congress as it was first
configured, excluding replacement members. The original version of this file
was produced in large part by merging two previously existing files-- ICPSR's
ROSTER OF UNITED STATES CONGRESSIONAL OFFICEHOLDERS, 1789-1979 (ICPSR 7557) and
Carroll McKibbin's BIOGRAPHICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES
CONGRESS, 1789-1978 (ICPSR 7428). Since 1980, ICPSR staff members have
maintained this merged data set. The eighth edition of this file marked the
introduction of two additional processing procedures. Beginning with the 101st
Congress, members who changed their political party affiliation after being
seated in a given Congress are assigned a separate data record for each party
that they represented in that seat in the Congress of record. In addition,
persons seated more than once in the same chamber during a single Congress will
have a separate data record for each seat that they occupied in that chamber
during the Congress in question. Thus, for example, a Representative who
switched from the Democratic to the Republican party after being seated in the
104th House will have two data records for that seat in the 104th Congress; and
a Senator who switched Senate seats in the 102nd Congress will have two data
records for the 102nd Senate. |

Cleaning Operations: | During the original creation of this combined file, the
Consortium staff performed several detailed and systematic error checking
procedures both while merging the existing files and updating the resulting
merged file... In the course of processing a study of this magnitude, random
entry or keypunch errors may occur, embedded blanks or invalid characters may
be introduced, and so on. These errors are generally corrected as they are
brought to the processing staff's attention. |

| File Structure: rectangular Number of cases: 42,862 No. of variables per record: 104 Logical Record Length: 248 Records per Case: 1 Overall Number of Records: 42,862 Data Format: Logical Record Length with SAS and SPSS data definition
statements Extent of Processing Checks: ICPSR produced a codebook for this collection;
generated SAS and SPSS data definition statements; standardized missing data
codes; performed recodes and calculated derived variables; applied checks for
undocumented codes; and reformatted the documentation. Missing Data: Because of the completeness of the BDAC and other sources used
in preparing this dataset there is little "unknown"information. Special codes
are used to denote unknown or missing information. For example, for variable
V14, missing information is indicated by code -1, and for variable V13 by code
9. In addition to missing data codes, there are special inapplicable codes for
variables that do not apply to the member of Congress in question. For example,
a variable that identifies the first House in which a member served is not
meaningful for a member who has served only in the Senate, and would be coded
as inapplicable.

Consortium for Political and Social Research -
Notes: The tenth edition of this collection adds data for
the period June 16, 1993 through November 27, 1996. As needed, new codes have
been added to variables V21, V30, and V43. In addition, definitions of the
following codes have been modified: codes 1 and 6 for V22; codes 11 and 12 for
V43; codes 7 and 8 for V44; and codes 11 and 12 for V83. Only limited
consistency checks were performed for this edition of the data collection.
Several anomalies and inconsistencies in the data that were discovered since
the release of the ninth edition have been corrected.

Notes: This variable includes codes for standard single member
districts, at-large districts, and districts in which the Representative was
elected on a general ticket. The district number itself is used as the value
given here for single member districts as well as any so-called "plural
districts". The practice of electing several Representatives from the same
district disappeared by about 1830 and was limited to Kentucky, Maryland, New
York, and Pennsylvania. These plural districts are not distinguished by a
special code but they can be identified by the presence of several
Representatives, all regularly elected, who have the same district number. The
code values for the single member and plural districts range from 1 to 49,
inclusive. Districts in which the Representative was elected on a general
ticket are coded in the range 50 through 70, inclusive. In some states,
Representatives were elected at-large (on a general ticket) but did represent
specific districts. A Representative elected on a general ticket to represent
district 1 would be coded 51 here. At-large districts within a state are coded
in descending order beginning with the value 98 according to the alphabetic
order of the candidates' last names. Hence, Anderson would be coded as 98,
Brown as 97, Carlson as 96, and so on. |

year, the leading '1' being deleted (i.e., '879' for 1879). Variables V87-V89
document the month, day, and year that service ended in the Congress of Record.
For members who leave Congress after completing the term, the value for this
variable is the year prior to that in which the Congress of Record ended. For
members who leave Congress midterm (i.e., without completing the term), the
value is the year in which the member left Congress. If a member retires, for
example, at the end of a Congress (1/3/91), the member's record (and all
previous records) would be coded 990. If a member leaves midterm (5/24/89), the
member's records would be coded 989. |

Notes: This variable records the Congress number contiguous to
the Congress of Record in which the Member's first service in the House of
Representatives occurred up to and including the Congress of Record. It is
useful for identifying and examining the records of Members whose House service
has been interrupted. If the Member's House service has not been interrupted,
the value for this variable is the same as that for v50. If the Member's House
service has been interrupted, this would be shown in the different values of
v50 and V51. V51 would indicate the Congress in which the Member returned to
the House. For example, if a Member served in the House in the 34th through
38th Congresses, the Member's record for each Congress served in would be coded
'34' since service was never interrupted. If a Member served in the 94th and
95th House, had no service in the 96th, and was re-elected to the 97th-99th
Houses, he/she would be coded '94' in the 94th-95th records and '97' in the

000. | INAP., MEMBER DID NOT SERVE IN THE SENATE PRIOR TO
AND INCLUDING THE CONGRESS OF RECORD | | | -01. | | | |
Notes: This variable records the Congress number contiguous to
the Congress of Record in which the Member's first service in the Senate
occurred up to and including the Congress of Record. It is useful for
identifying and examining the records of Members whose Senate service has been
interrupted. If the Member's Senate service has not been interrupted, the value
for this variable is the same as that for V57. If the Member's Senate service
has been interrupted, this would be shown in the different values of V57 and
V58. V58 would indicate the Congress in which the Member returned to the
Senate. For example, if a Member served in the Senate in the 34th through 39th
Congresses, the Member's record for each Congress served in would be coded '34'
since service was never interrupted. If a Member served in the 94th through
96th Senates, was not re-elected to the 97th, and subsequently was
elected/appointed to the 100th Senate, he/she would be coded '94' in the
94-96th records and '100' in the 100th and any subsequent records. One
exception to different values in V57 and V58 indicating interrupted service is
for Senators with prior House service. For example, a member who served in the
89th through 92nd House, and won election to the Senate for the term starting
in the 93rd Congress, the 89th-92nd records would be coded '0' for this
variable, while the 93rd and any subsequent records would be coded '93'.

Notes: This is a three digit variable that gives the year first
elected to Senate. The leading '1' has been deleted from the date. The
assumption was made that all Senates were elected in the even numbered year
preceding their assembly. For example, a Member first elected to the 100th
Senate -- 1/3/87 - 1/3/89 -- would be coded '986' since that was the year of
election. Replacements would be coded for their first year of election as well.
Variables V84-V86 document the month, day and year a Member's service actually
began in the Congress of Record. |

Notes: This is a three digit variable that indicates the last
year a Member served in the Senate. The last three digits of the year are coded
(i.e., 897 for 1897) For members who leave Congress after completing the term,
the value for this variable is the year prior to that in which the Congress of
Record ended. For members who leave Congress midterm (i.e., without completing
the term), the value is the year in which the member left Congress. If a member
retires, for example, at the end of a Congress (1/3/91), the member's record
(and all previous records) would be coded 990. If a member leaves midterm
(5/24/89), the member's records would be coded 989. |

Derivation - Description: This variable was derived from V84, V86, V87, and V89. When
only the year a member entered/left a Congress was known, tenure was calculated
using June of the year in question as the enter/leave date. Members still
serving in the 104th Congress are coded as if they have completed their terms
in the 104th Congress. For example, a person entering the 104rd Congress on
1/3/95 is coded 02000 on his/her 104th record.
Notes: This four digit variable (that includes 3 implied
decimal places), documents the length of service in the Congress of Record in
number and fraction of years. The fractional parts of a year are listed below.
A Member who served one year and seven months in a Congress is coded '1583',
for example. A full term is coded '2000'. The first column is for whole
numbers; the last three express a fraction. |

Text: | Employing the termination-of-service or filter variable (V44) to
capture only the final summary record for each member who has served in
Congress provides information about the entire career of the individual. One
potentially important piece of information, however, is not represented by such
a retrieval-- whether the member has represented more than one state in the
course of their career. Listed below are the 41 individuals who have
represented more than one state-- 40 have represented two states, and one
