Today, I have been named as the Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committees Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources. I have also been named to serve on the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. It is a tremendous honor to once again be entrusted to serve as the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources. Overseeing energy production on federal lands, both onshore and off, is an extremely important responsibility that I take very seriously. I will continue to be a strong voice leading my subcommittee toward an all-of-the-above energy approach designed to expand our energy independence and create an environment for new American jobs. I am also pleased to be appointed to serve on the new Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations where I can continue to rein in this out of control Administration and prevent government waste, fraud and abuse. Information on the Subcommittees: -The Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources oversees American energy production and mining on the 2 1/2 billion acre federal estate – both onshore and offshore. Republicans on the Subcommittee are committed to the environmentally responsible development of America’s vast energy and mineral resources that will expand our domestic energy supply, create new American jobs, lessen our dependence on foreign sources of energy and minerals, and generate revenue for federal and state treasuries. -The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations is a new Subcommittee that will gather together the oversight missions of the other subcommittees into a single entity. naturalresources.house.gov/
