The last history of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee was written in 1969, when the panel — then known as the Labor and Public Welfare Committee — was marking its centennial. It was born as the Education Committee in 1869, and was known as the Education and Labor Committee from 1884 to 1947, then was called the Labor and Public Welfare Committee from 1947 to 1977, became the Human Resources Committee from 1977 to 1979, then became the Labor and Human Resources Committee in 1979, and took on its current name 11 years ago.
