In the 106th Congress(House and Senate) there are 39 African Americans, 20 Hispanics, 8 Asians and one Native American. 58 women in the House and 9 female Senators. 7 Representatives are foreighn born from the following countries: Cuba, Germany, Hungary, Taiwan, Japan and the Netherlands. I could not find a site that gave their names. As you can see it would be a long list. This is a record number of minorities to serve.This is the site: www.hepm.org/record_minorities.htm Oct 26 01, 8:30 AM

Jews were not listed as a minority on any site I went into. In the 107th Congress there are 10 Jewish Senators and 27 serving in the House. www.jewishsightseeing.com/usa/wash_dc/capitol_building/sd12-08jews_in_congress.htm Also go into Google and type in Jews in US Congress and you can learn more. The sight I have here does give all the names and state they serve. Oct 27 01, 7:27 AM
