EDITOR'S NOTE: This tabulation is based on the religious affiliations reported by Congressional staffs to Congressional Quarterly and to the Almanac of American Politics. The affiliations of the newly elected members of the 110th Congress appeared in CQ's Guide to the New Congress, issued Nov. 9. They have been compiled by Albert J. Menendez. The tabulation does not reflect the outcome of a Dec. 12 runoff for the 23rd Congressional District in Texas.
