The Democratic Policy Committee (DPC) was established in January 1947, after
President Harry Truman signed legislation to create majority and minority party
policy committees in the Senate. Since its creation nearly sixty years ago, the DPC
has served Senate Democrats by providing research and legislative support,
publishing reports on important legislation and policy issues, tracking roll call
votes, differentiating Democratic policy positions from Republican positions, and
promoting Caucus unity and cohesion.
