WASHINGTON,
DC
The
new
Energy
&
Commerce
Committee
Chairman
Greg
Walden
(R-OR)
announced
the
Subcommittee
Chairmanship
roster
this
morning,
with
Congressman
Tim
Murphy
(R-PA)
maintaining
his
post
as
Oversight
&
Investigations
Chair.
Murphy,
who
assumed
the
gavel
of
Oversight
&
Investigations
in
the
113th
Congress,
released
the
following
statement:
“I
am
thrilled
to
continue
serving
as
Oversight
&
Investigations
Chairman
under
Chairman
Walden’s
leadership
and
I’m
delighted
for
the
opportunity
to
work
alongside
another
strong
leader,
Virginia’s
Rep.
Morgan
Griffith,
who
will
serve
as
Vice
Chairman.”
“We
have
critical
work
to
accomplish
this
year,
and
we’re
in
an
even
stronger
positon
to
get
answers
for
the
American
people
and
restore
accountability
to
federal
agencies.
Untangling
the
thousands
of
regulations
at
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency,
the
continued
scrub
of
the
Affordable
Care
Act,
and
ongoing
oversight
into
the
mental
health
and
opioid
crisis
are
at
the
top
of
our
list.
I’m
eager
to
hit
the
ground
running
and
to
continue
to
deliver
outstanding
results
that
has
laid
the
foundation
for
the
Committee’s
Record
of
Success.”
Said
Chairman
Walden:
“Under
Tim’s
leadership,
the
Oversight
&
Investigations
Subcommittee
has
played
a
critical
role
in
reigning-in
agencies
and
departments
who
have
been
lax
with
how
they
do
business.
In
addition
to
this
important
duty,
the
subcommittee
identified
problems
popping
up
across
the
country
a
broken
mental
health
care
system
and
a
drug
epidemic
crippling
our
communities.
And
under
his
leadership,
the
subcommittee
and
the
full
committee
led
the
way
in
delivering
some
of
last
year’s
most
meaningful
reforms.
I
know
we
can
expect
more
of
the
same
from
Tim,
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
investigate
the
most
pressing
problems
in
our
country
to
identify
solutions
for
the
American
people.”
