Washington D.C. – Today, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard P. “Buck” McKeon (R-CA) and Ranking Member, Congressman Adam Smith (D-WA), announced subcommittee members for the 113th Congress and made the following statements.

"Our Members serve as the backbone of the Armed Services Committee. I'm pleased with both the leadership and the expertise that our subcommittee chairmen bring to table.  I expect that each of them will continue our strong record of bipartisanship, as we endeavor to fulfill our constitutional obligation to provide for the common defense," McKeon said. 

"Our committee membership represents a diverse, cross-cut of the country with a wide range of expertise and experience,” Smith said. “Together, over the coming months and years, we will work to ensure that the men and women of our armed forces have the tools and resources necessary to deter, confront and defeat threats wherever they may emerge.
