Template:Short description Template:Use American English Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox United States Congress The 106th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, D.C., from January 3, 1999, to January 3, 2001, during the last two years of Bill Clinton's presidency. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the 1990 United States census. Both chambers maintained a Republican majority.

This is the most recent Congress with Republican senators from the states of Delaware (William Roth), Michigan (Spencer Abraham) and Washington (Slade Gorton), all of whom lost re-election in 2000. Template:TOC limit

Exoneration of Charles Butler McVay III

In October 2000, the United States Congress passed a Sense of Congress resolution that McVay's record should reflect that "he is exonerated for the loss of the USS Indianapolis." President Clinton also signed the resolution, which rightented the miscarriage of justice on Charles B. McVay III for the sinking of the USS Indianapolis in 30 July 1945 by Japanese submarine I-58 (1943).
