The 79th Congress of the United States convened from January 3, 1945, to January 3, 1947. It was a significant period following World War II, marked by the transition from wartime to peacetime policies. The Congress was composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate, with the Democratic Party holding a majority in both chambers. During this Congress, key legislation was passed, including the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, also known as the GI Bill, which provided benefits to returning veterans. The Congress also addressed issues related to post-war economic recovery and the establishment of the United Nations.
