In addition to the Clerk’s Immediate Office, located in H154 of the U.S. Capitol,
there are nine offices that fall under the Clerk’s jurisdiction
Capitol Service Groups
The Capitol Service Groups provide support services to the maintenance of the Republican
and Democratic Cloakrooms, the Lindy Claiborne Boggs Congressional Women’s
Reading Room, the Members and Family Committee Room, and the Capitol Prayer Room.
Legislative Computer Systems (LCS)
LCS provides technical support for offices under the Clerk and maintains the electronic
voting system on the House Floor.
Legislative Resource Center (LRC)
The Legislative Resource Center (LRC) ensures that House legislative and membership information is accessible to all. LRC supplies House Members with the documents under consideration on the House Floor. LRC also gathers and verifies information on actions by House Committees and the President of the United States regarding legislation. The data are stored in the Legislative Information Management System (LIMS), an in-house system that tracks all legislation from its introduction on the House Floor to its signing by the President. LRC manages lobbying disclosure filings as well as public disclosure forms from all House Officers, Members, and staff and makes disclosure registrations and reports accessible to the public. LRC compiles and publishes official lists and informational publications about the House–including Member, Committee, and House office information as well as nominee and election statistics–and serves as the repository and a disseminator of official House legislative documents and publications. LRC also supports congressional offices with orders for official stationery and envelopes and other print services and responds to congressional and public inquiries regarding legislative information about Congress.
