In 2004, he was selected by his colleagues to be the chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce—the oldest standing legislative House com- mittee. Congressman Barton was the first Texan since former House Speaker Sam Rayburn to chair this important committee. The Energy & Commerce Committee has arguably the broadest non tax-oriented jurisdiction of any congressional committee, with principal House responsibility over matters relating to commerce, public health and marketplace interests. Congressman Barton cur- rently serves as the ranking Republican of the Committee on En- ergy and Commerce in the 110th Congress. The ‘‘House GOP’s leading expert on energy policy’’ (Wall Street Journal, October 2002), Congressman Barton has led the House charge to pass comprehensive national energy policy legislation. In the past two congresses, he has shared authorship of the two most comprehensive energy policy packages to pass in the House since the 1930s.
