Republican Conference Makes Committee Appointments, Issa to Serve on Select Intelligence, Judiciary, and Government Reform

Following the approval of Committee assignments by the Republican Conference, Rep. Darrell Issa announced that he will serve as a Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the Committee on the Judiciary, and the Committee on Government Reform in the 110th Congress.

All Republican Members of the Select Committee on Intelligence are appointed by House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and the other assignments were given final approval by the full membership of House Republicans.

"These committee assignments will continue to allow me to play an active role in shaping legislation on issues affecting illegal immigration, intellectual property, fighting terrorism, and overseeing the use of taxpayer dollars by the Federal Government," said Issa.

Issa also announced that he expects to be named as a Ranking Member on a Government Reform Subcommittee in the coming days and that he has been granted a leave of absence from his membership on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Foreign Affairs (formerly known as the International Relations Committee) for the 110th Congress that affords him the opportunity to return to those panels at a future date.
