The House Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight was special subcommittee of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, responsible for the oversight of federal regulatory agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission. During the 86th Congress the subcommittee was chaired by Representative Oren Harris, Democrat from Arkansas, and is famous for its hearings regarding the quiz show scandal of the 1950s as demonstrated in the Robert Redford film, Quiz Show.
