Lantos becomes chairman of House Foreign Affairs committee.
From www.house.gov:
quote:
Washington, DC – As a nod to tradition and a signal of things to come, Chairman Tom Lantos (D-CA) today announced that he has restored the name of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and intends to make it memorable.“A new sheriff has come to town, taking the reins with a purpose,” Lantos said as the 110th Congress got under way. “Americans have demanded change in the way our country conducts itself in the world. Count on Congress to see to it.”
In Senate, Joe "lift and strike" Biden became chair of Foreign Relations commitee.
He is known for hawkish stance during the Balkan conflicts.
-To be fair, Russ Feingold is on that same comittee. But so are Kerry and Lugar.
