My understanding of the terminology is that Congress can refer to both the House of Representatives and the Senate (as in a joint session of Congress), but can also be applied to refer simply to the House of Representatives alone. Commonly, members of the House of Representatives are called 'Congressmen', while the members of the Senate are called 'Senators'. Also, states are divided into congressional districts, each of which elects one congressman. I think that you are technically correct, but that I am idiomatically correct.
