Notes
- Template:Note Chairmanship of joint committees alternates with each Congress between the senior majority Senator and the senior majority Representative.
- Template:Note Because the list did not specify ranking minority members of joint committees, I compared entries in the Congressional Biographical Dictionary to determine length of service. For purpose of seniority on joint committees, total time in Congress--Senate and House--is counted.
