Glickman Named Chairman of House Intelligence Panel
Rep. Dan Glickman (D-Kan.) was named Thursday by Speaker Thomas S. Foley (D-Wash.) as chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence.
The committee and its Senate counterpart oversee activities of the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies. Most of the committee’s work is done in secret.
Glickman, 48, replaces Rep. Dave McCurdy (D-Okla.), who was removed by Foley after serving nine years as chairman. Foley said he thought it was time to give someone else a chance to chair the committee.
Rep. Larry Combest of Texas will be the senior Republican on the 19-member committee.
