SENATE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE 112TH CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, DC – On Thursday, U.S. Senate Republicans announced committee assignments for the 112th Congress.

"Our entire conference was honored to have Mike Crapo leading our negotiations on committee assignments," Senator McConnell said. "And I'd like to thank him and Mike Johanns for their hard work guiding our Committee on Committees through the process." Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) served as chairman for the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for the committee assignments during the 112th Congress. The assignment marks the fourth consecutive Congressional two-year term that Senate leadership has asked Crapo to chair negotiations among his Republican peers in the Senate. Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) assisted the Committee in the selection process.

All assignments have been ratified by the Republican Conference, and are subject to ratification by the full Senate:
