Congress

A new Congress will be sworn in tomorrow, the 107th Congress to meet under the United States Constitution. It will have a narrow majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives and will be split exactly 50-50 between the two major parties in the Senate. The leadership will look much the same as in the last Congress, and that's true in both parties and in both chambers, but there will be differences at the committee level -- and those differences may matter a great deal for President Elect George W. Bush. NPR's Peter Kenyon reports from the Capitol.
