Carter Elected to Appropriations Committee

01/06/05

Washington, Jan 6, 2005 -

Washington, DC - Late last night the House Republican Steering Committee placed U.S. Representative John R. Carter (TX-31) on the prestigious Appropriations Committee. 

“The steering committee recognized the area’s need for representation in the appropriations process and the growing importance of Central Texas – it’s where the world’s largest military installation is just up the interstate from a national technology hub and surrounded by the fertile agriculture industry,” said Carter.

Yesterday the steering committee also recommended Rep. Jerry Lewis (CA-41) to head the Appropriations Committee.  Last October, as invited by Carter, Lewis toured Fort Hood.  The tour included a briefing, flyover of the base, Central Technical Support Facility tour and a visit to the new 4th Infantry Division memorial.

“I am honored to have been elected to serve on such a prominent committee.” Carter continued by saying, “As a member of this committee I will work to make sure our nation’s priorities are appropriately funded.”

During his first term in Congress, Carter served on the House Judiciary, Government Reform and Education and the Workforce Committees and served on six subcommittees. Carter will be assigned to subcommittees in the coming weeks.
