The committee jurisdiction as set forth in rule X is of necessity listed in general terms. An enumeration of specific subjects contained in bills referred to, or acted upon by, the committee in the past will give a better understanding of the subject matters coming within the jurisdiction of the committee. The following enumeration is not intended to be all inclusive but merely attempts to list the subjects generally. In this respect, the National Bank Act, Federal Reserve Act, Defense Production Act, Banking Acts of 1933 and 1935, National Housing Act, U.S. Housing Act of 1937, several sections of the Revised Statutes and other acts, all within the jurisdiction of the committee, contain a great number of provisions which are not separately enumerated. The purpose here is not to summarize the provision of statutes emanating from the committee, nor to include the subject matter of all bills referred to the committee over the years, but only to illustrate in a more specific manner than does rule X the different subjects within the committee's jurisdiction.
