 \n# Quarterly Analysis\n\nPRIMER ON THE NEW CONGRESS  \nNow that the furor is beginning to settle down,Washington reporters are trying desperately to sortout the revolutionary changes which occurred on Capitol Hill during the past month or so.A combinationof factors -last year's House committee reform package,the Watergate election and effective organizationof its progeny,long-standing intraparty rivalries,and intensive public interest lobbying-has brought a newregime to power there,and it's hard to tell the players without a program.Since nearly all of the changeswill impact environmental legislation in one way or another,a primer on the new Congress should proveuseful.  \nHouse Appropriations Committee.Without any doubt,the most significant result of the House revolu-  \ntion -as it affects environmental legislation -occurred in the House Appropriations Committee.Threatened  \nwith the loss of his subcommittee chairmanship by a coalition of pro-environment and pro-consumer activ-  \nists,Rep.Jamie Whitten(D.-Miss.)relinquished jurisdiction over spending in both areas to the Subcommittee  \non HUD and Independent Agencies,headed by Rep.Edward Boland(D.Mass.).Boland's subcommittee in-  \ncludes Reps.Joe Evins(D.Tenn.),George Shipley(D.-I.),J.Edward Roush(D.Ind.),Bob Traxler(D.  \nMich.),Max Baucus(D.-Mont.),Louis Stokes(D.-Ohio),Yvonne Braithwaite Burke(D.-Calif.),Burt  \nTalcott(R.-Calif.),Joseph McDade(R.-Pa.),and Bill Young(R.-Fla.).  \nSenate Appropriations Committee.Since the House originates appropriations legislation,the SenateAppropriations Committee felt compelled to reorganize along parallel lines,moving jurisdiction over environ-mental spending from Sen.Gale McGee's(D.Wyo.)Subcommittee on Agriculture to Sen.William Proxmire's(D.-Wis.)Subcommittee on HUD-Independent Agencies.Proxmire's subcommittee includes Sens.JohnPastore(D.-R.I.),John Stennis(D.-Miss.),Mike Mansfield(D.-Mont.),Birch Bayh(D.-Ind.),Lawton Chiles(D.-Fla.),J.Bennett Johnston(D.La.),Walter Huddleston(D.-Ky.),Charles Mathias(R.Md.),Clifford Case(R.-N.J.),Hiram Fong(R.Hawaii),Edward Brooke(R.-Mass.),and Henry Bellmon(R.-Okla.).  \nSenate Public Works Committee.Perhaps the most important “change”which occurred in the SenatePublic Works Committee was the resolution of any uncertainty regarding Sen.Edmund Muskie's(D.-Me.)continued participation.For a while,following enactment of the Energy Supply and Environmental Coordi-nation Act last year,Muskie appeared to lose interest in environmental legislation.Now that he's decidedto stay on as chairman of the Subcommittee on Environmental Pollution,Muskie has resumed an activistrole.  \nMuskie's subcommittee now includes Sens.Joseph Montoya(D.N.M.),Loyd Bentsen(D.-Tex.),MikeGravel(D.-Alaska),John Culver(D.-Iowa),Robert Morgan(D.N.C.),Gary Hart(D.-Colo.),James Buckley(R.-N.Y.),Robert Stafford(R.Vt.),James McClure(R.-Idaho),and Pete Domenici(R.N.M.).Sens.RichardClark(D.-Lowa),Joseph Biden(D.-Del.),and William Scott(R.-Va.)have new committee assignments thisyear;Culver replaces Biden as chairman of the Panel on Environmental Science and Technology.Sens.Jennings Randolph(D.-W.Va.)and Howard Baker(R.Tenn.)serve ex officio on all Public Works subcom-mittees as chairman and ranking minority member of the full committee.Sen.Quentin Burdick(D.N.D.)is the only committee member who does not serve on Muskie's subcommittee.  \nHouse Public Works Committee.With the retirement of Rep.John Blatnik(D.Minn.),leadership ofthe House Public Works Committee goes to Rep.Robert Jones(D.Ala.).Twelve former committee mem-bers -six Democrats and six Republicans-are no longer serving on Public Works,replaced by ninenew Democrats and three new Republicans.Committee members serving on the Water Resources Subcom-mittee are designated with an asterisk(*):Robert Jones(D.Ala.),Jim Wright(D.Tex.),HaroldJohnson(D.-Calif.)*,David Henderson(D.-N.C.),Ray Roberts(D.-Tex.)*,James Howard(D.-N.J.)*,Glenn Anderson(D.-Calif.)*,Robert Roe(D.NJ.)*,Teno
