Armed Services Committee Leaders Announce Subcommittee Membership for the 112th Congress
Washington, D.C.—U.S Rep. Howard P. “Buck” McKeon (R-Calif.) and U.S. Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, today announced the leadership and membership of the subcommittees for the 112th Congress.
“I am pleased that we have the full committee roster and subcommittee responsibilities in place and can now move forward with supporting our men and women in the Armed Services,” said Ranking Member Congressman Adam Smith. “While a number of excellent and dedicated members will not be returning this Congress, Chairman McKeon and I agree that we have a great slate of members and we have no doubt that this committee will continue its outstanding work. Based on a strong and unwavering commitment to our troops, Veterans and their families, this committee has always worked in a bipartisan manner and as Ranking Member I will do my part to continue to build on that tradition. Additionally, I want to wish Congresswoman Giffords and her family the very best. She is a dear friend and an essential part of this committee and we look forward to having her back.”
“Our Members are the workhorses for the Armed Services Committee. Ranking Member Smith and I are pleased with the experienced leadership teams we have for each subcommittee and the expertise that each Member brings to their individual subcommittee. Working together in a bipartisan manner, we will go to work for the men and women of America’s Armed Forces and ensure we are meeting our constitutional responsibilities to provide for the nation’s common defense,” said Chairman McKeon.
