Subcommittee Chair and Member Assignments Approved Chair Brad Miller

On January 28, Committee Members approved Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) to be Chair of the Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee. Along with Chair Miller, ten other Committee Members serve on the Subcommittee. The Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight handles general and special investigative and oversight activities on matters covering the entire jurisdiction of the Committee on Science and Technology.  During the 110^th Congress, the Subcommittee worked on issues including toxic FEMA trailers provided to hurricane Katrina and Rita victims, the destruction of an irreplaceable collection of Legionella disease samples at a government lab, and globalization and offshoring of jobs and technology.

“Every Member wants to see the government be more accountable.  The Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee is the place where holding people accountable is our top priority,” said Subcommittee Chair Brad Miller. “I am very happy to be returning to Chair the Subcommittee and look forward to working with Chair Gordon and the new Administration to restore scientific integrity, and to make government more efficient and more transparent.”
