Unable to make any headway concerning the Vietnam War, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee decided to have Senator Stuart Symington to investigate various US security agreements and commitments abroad.The Senate had become increasingly disturbed with the case involving Israel.

In the United States Congress, if a committee is formed to investigate one topic it is called a special committee. Some special committees have had huge impacts like the Ways and Means Committee that started out as a special committee. This committee moved on to become a regular committee and created the treasury department.
Such a committee is typically called a "select committee" or "special committee." These committees are formed to address specific issues, conduct investigations, or carry out functions that are not within the purview of standing committees. They may be temporary and disband after their purpose is fulfilled, often leading to recommendations for future legislation.

A congressional oversight committee, often referred to as a special investigative committee, would be formed to investigate the possible causes of the 2008 financial crisis. This type of committee would conduct hearings, gather testimonies from key financial institutions, regulators, and other stakeholders, and analyze regulatory failures, lending practices, and the role of mortgage-backed securities. The goal would be to identify systemic issues and recommend reforms to prevent future crises.
House examples of special or select committees include the House Select Committee on Intelligence, which oversees the nation's intelligence agencies, and the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, which addresses climate-related issues and policy. These committees are established for specific purposes, often to investigate particular issues or events, and typically have a limited duration. They differ from standing committees, which are permanent and handle ongoing legislative responsibilities.
