Westerman Appointed to House Natural Resources Subcommittees

Statement

Congressman Bruce Westerman (R-Hot Springs) today issued the following statement on his appointment to the Public Lands and Environmental Regulations Subcommittee and the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee under the House Committee on Natural Resources:

"I want to thank Chairman Bishop for the privilege to serve on these two important subcommittees. With my new district office located within Hot Springs National Park -- America's oldest federal reserve -- it is an honor for me to serve on these panels. Additionally, as a professional engineer and forester, I will work for the citizens of Arkansas and America to enact common sense policies to improve our way of life through good stewardship and utilization of our natural resources."

Westerman was named to the subcommittees by the Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah).

Earlier this week, Westerman was previously appointed Vice Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Environment, which is part of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. He also serves on the House Budget Committee.
