Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) issued the following statement after President Trump announced CIA Director Mike Pompeo would be appointed as Secretary of State:

"CIA Director Mike Pompeo was #1 in his class at West Point, an exceptional CIA Director and Member of the House and a good friend who I have a tremendous amount of respect for. There is great potential for Mike Pompeo to be one of the greatest Secretaries of State in American history.
