Guest guest Posted May 19, 1999 Report Share Posted May 19, 1999 I have been informed that Congressman Shays turned over the Chairmanship of the Oversight subcommittee because he wanted to move on to national security issues. The Chairmanship of the Human Resources Subcommittee has been taken over by Congressman Mica (Florida) who renamed it " Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources " subcommittee. What we should do is to write to the Chairman of the full Oversight Committee, Dan Burton (R-IN) and tell him we would like a hearing of the family members of CJD victims and to request that he " influence " Mica to continue Shay's work. The only one in Congress who is working on anything close (blood safety) is Porter Goss (R-FL). We could write to him also.....................Pat Congressman Dan Burton 285 Rayburn HOB Washington, DC 20515 Rep. Dan Burton, Chairman Name Change Formerly the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, our name is now simply, the Committee on Government Reform. This change does not indicate a change in the work of the committee. Oversight of the executive branch of government will remain a function of the committee and a major portion of its responsibilities. With the beginning of the 106th Congress, the Committee's name was officially changed to avoid confusion with the Committee on House Administration, formerly the Committee on House Oversight.
