Ways and Means-Passed Trade Bills Will Help U.S. Farmers Compete Globally, Counter China, and Protect American Workers
Until 1865, the jurisdiction of the committee (referred to as the Committee of Ways and Means before 1880) included the critically important areas of revenue, appropriations, and banking. Since 1865, the committee has continued to exercise jurisdiction over revenue and related issues such as tariffs, reciprocal trade agreements, and the bonded debt of the United States. Revenue-related aspects of the Social Security system, Medicare, and social services programs have come within Ways and Means’ purview in the 20th century. Legislation passed by the Committee removes China and its unfair trade practices from U.S. supply chains.
The United States Constitution requires that all bills regarding taxation must originate in the U.S. House of Representatives, and House rules dictate that all bills regarding taxation must pass through Ways and Means. This system imparts upon the committee and its members a significant degree of influence over other representatives, committees, and public policy.

First established as a select committee on July 24, 1789, it was discharged less than two months later. The committee was reappointed from the first session of the Fourth Congress in 1795, and was formally listed as a standing committee in the House Rules on January 7, 1802. “They recognize that forced labor has found its way into our supply chain, in violation of U.S. law.

“They recognize that when we rely too much on one country for medicine, energy, and other key goods, we risk the health, safety, and security of American citizens and lose our economic independence. “They recognize that China has spent years and trillions of dollars to dominate developing markets that should be expanding markets for American exports. As part of Congress’s commitment to support America’s ally Israel, the Committee also passed legislation to protect Israel from targeting by the anti-semitic boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement. The roster of committee members who have gone on to serve in higher office is impressive.
