Eightieth: None.

Eighty-first: None.

Eighty-second: Christian A. Herter (R-MA), a prominent member of the liberal northeastern wing of the Republican Party, had served on the Rules Committee in the Eightieth and Eighty-first Congresses. During the second session of the Eighty-first Congress, he was one of twenty-one House Republicans to dissent publicly from minority leader Joseph Martin's “GOP'50 Plan,” a campaign platform for Republicans in the off-year (see New York Times, 12 January 1950 and 4 July 1950). He also voted with the liberal Democrats on Rules on the issue of reporting out a bill creating a Fair Employment Practice Commission and actively promoted liberal labor and tax legislation (see Congressional Quarterly Almanac 1950, 375–379, 593; New York Times, 13 March 1950). Herter was not reappointed to Rules at the beginning of the Eighty-second Congress, taking instead the eleventh-ranking position on Foreign Affairs. He would have moved up a notch in seniority, to third out of four, had he been reappointed in the Eighty-second.

Eighty-third through eighty-seventh: None.

Eighty-eighth: James C. Auchincloss (R-NJ) was ranking minority member on both the Public Works and District of Columbia committees in the Eighty-sixth and Eighty-seventh Congresses. In the Eighty-eighth, his last Congress, he retained his position on Public Works but was ranked second on District of Columbia. As noted in the Washington Post, 15 January 1963, Auchincloss announced that he was stepping down as ranking minority member of District of Columbia “because of the press of other duties.”
