Earlier Congresses: 16

Each Congress comes from one source, never merged: Stewart and Woon's assignment dataset (MIT) for the 103rd to the 115th; the legislators repo's own history for the 116th to the 118th. A Congress neither source covers is not shown. An older row whose committee code we could not map to this committee is not shown either; that does not mean the seat was empty.
