90th United States Congress
Encyclopedia
The Ninetieth United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate
and the United States House of Representatives
. It met in Washington, DC from January 3, 1967 to January 3, 1969, during the last two years of the second administration of U.S. President
Lyndon Johnson.
The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives
was based on the Eighteenth Census of the United States in 1960
. Both chambers had a Democratic
majority.
For ten days in this Congress (December 24, 1968 through January 3, 1969), the Senate contained all ten of the longest-serving Senators in history. This period stretched from the installation of Ted Stevens
after his special-election victory to the retirement of Carl Hayden early the next year.
The count below identifies party affiliations at the beginning of the first session of this Congress, and includes members from vacancies and newly admitted states, when they were first seated. Changes resulting from subsequent replacements are shown below in the "Changes in membership" section.
