Majority Leader & assistant -- Chairman of the party caucus. In the house the Leader of the majority party is usually elected Speaker.
Whip & assistant - responsible for counting votes before a bill hits the floor & changing minds (arm twisting) of recalcitrant party members to vote the party line.
