114-s-3499 114 s 3499 Daniel Webster Congressional Clerkship Act of 2016 Congress 2016-12-05 2016-12-05 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration. Senate Sen. Lee, Mike [R-UT] UT R L000577 3 Daniel Webster Congressional Clerkship Act of 2016 This bill establishes the Daniel Webster Congressional Clerkship Program for the appointment of individuals who are graduates of accredited law schools to serve as congressional clerks in the Senate or House of Representatives. The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration and the House Committee on House Administration must each select at least six individuals for a one-year term to serve for a clerkship with an office in their respective chambers. The committees shall ensure that congressional clerks selected under this bill are apportioned equally between majority and minority party offices. The bill expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the amount of financial assistance provided to a congressional clerk should, if practicable, be comparable to the compensation and benefits provided for similar clerkships offered through the federal judiciary and executive branches; and (2) any financial assistance provided to a clerk should not result in a net increase in the amounts appropriated for the legislative branch for any fiscal year. 2023-01-11T13:34:44Z
