In the 94th Congress, he was appointed to the newly created House Budget Committee. In addition, he was president of the 87th Congress Club in the House of Representatives and served on the Republican Policy Committee and the Executive Committee of the Committee on Committees.
Prior to his election to Congress in 1960, Mr. Shriver served two terms (1947-1951) in the Kansas House of Representatives and two four-year terms in the Kansas Senate (1953-1960).

After doing some graduate work at the University of Southern California, Shriver taught English and Speech at South Haven High School from 1936 to 1937.
