WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman David Dreier (R-CA), Rules Committee Ranking Republican, issued the following statement today regarding his selection as House Rules Committee Chairman for the 112th Congress:
“Under a new Majority, the 112th Congress will be managed differently than any Congress before it and I am honored to be a part of Speaker-designate Boehner’s leadership team. The Rules Committee will be responsible for implementing and maintaining a commitment to the reforms that the new Republican Majority has pledged to put in place.

An impressive and dedicated group of new members will help us achieve these goals.”
