Authors: Mildred Amer, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: This report contains data on elections in the Democratic and Republican party conferences for principal congressional leaders within each party for the 94th through the 111th Congresses . It reflects actual balloting. Also identified are the six Senators who have served as President pro tempore of the Senate, the two who have served as deputy President pro tempore, and the three Senators who have served as President pro tempore emeritus. These are largely positions of honor, for which there is no formal election in either party conference. Other tables provide the names and states of the candidates for each major party office, the Congress(es) in which they were running, and the votes they received. Also noted are Senators elected with no opposition.
