CONGRESSIONAL REPORT, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8
(House committee chairs) (340)
HOUSE REPUBLICANS SELECT COMMITTEE CHAIRS
The House Republican Conference December 7 selected chairs for all 20 House
standing committees in the 104th Congress, with the exception of the Ethics
Committee. The appointment of that chair, which is made by the speaker of
the House, has been delayed due to an ethics-related complaint concerning a
college course taught by incoming speaker Newt Gingrich. The conference
also selected chairs for the 13 appropriations subcommittees, who will hold
considerable power over spending bills. Their cooperation will be needed
to eliminate federal programs the Republican leadership opposes.
