| houseleader = [[Felix Edward Hébert]] (''de facto'')<ref group=note name=defactonote>The Dixiecrats as a party was distinguished from the national Democrats in the presidential cycle, though was not known to have organized itself from more than a loose movement within Congress, where only a minority of Southern Democrats had actually joined the SRP. Eastland and Hébert are listed here as the "de facto" leaders of the SRP in the Senate and House respectively not because they were official leaders, rather due to their greater seniority/influence within the chambers.</ref>
