The Republican Study Committee (RSC) is a congressional caucus with the purpose of advancing a conservative social and economic policy in the U.S. House.

Background

The RSC was founded in 1973 by Rep. Phil Crane and others in the House of Representatives. It functioned as a Legislative Service Organization until those groups were abolished by new House rules in 1995. After the group was abolished, it restarted as the Conservative Action Team. In 2000, the CAT returned to its original name, the RSC, and has existed in that capacity since that time.[1]

Mission

According to its official website, "The Republican Study Committee (RSC) has served as the conservative caucus of House Republicans and a leading influencer on the Right since its original founding in 1973. It exists to bring like-minded House members together to promote a strong, principled legislative agenda that will limit government, strengthen our national defense, boost America's economy, preserve traditional values and balance our budget," and "We believe that the appropriate role of a limited government is to protect liberty, opportunity, and security, and that it is the responsibility of this generation to preserve them for the next. We believe that more government is the problem, not the solution, for the toughest issues facing our nation. We believe that there is no limit to the ingenuity, innovation, and prosperity Americans create when allowed to live their lives freely, according to their beliefs. We believe that with conservative commitment today, America's brightest days lie ahead."[2]
