Holt Also Renamed to Intelligence, Education & Labor, and Natural Resources Committees

(Washington, D.C.) – Rep. Rush Holt (NJ-12) today was named to chair the House Select Intelligence Oversight Panel, a post he held in the 110th Congress. The panel helps write the budget for and provides oversight of the U.S. intelligence community. Speaker Nancy Pelosi also announced that Holt will return to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

“I thank Speaker Pelosi for her vision in creating and continuing this important oversight panel, which will help ensure that our intelligence community collects good intelligence in ways that are consistent with American values, determination, and ingenuity,” Holt said. “I am honored to serve again as chair of the panel, and I look forward to working with my colleagues on the important intelligence issues facing our nation.”

Previously it has been announced that Holt was reappointed to the House Committee on Education and Labor and the House Committee on Natural Resources.

This year, at the request of Speaker Pelosi, Holt also serves as a member of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. Through his work on this committee, he helps make decisions about Democratic Members’ committee assignments and also assists in setting the Democratic Caucus’s policy agenda. Holt also is serving as a Regional Whip.
