REP. CALVERT WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE ON HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE
April 9, 2009
Press Release
Congressman Ken Calvert (R-CA) was pleased to announce that he will continue his service on the Armed Services Committee. In addition to serving on the full committee, Calvert will hold seats on two key subcommittees; Tactical Air and Land Forces and Projection Forces.
"I look forward to working with Chairman Hunter to ensure our military is fully manned and equipped to fight and win the Global War on Terror. But we will also be looking very closely at how we can most efficiently spend our defense dollars in these tight budgetary times." stated Rep. Calvert.
The Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces has jurisdiction over all Army and Air force acquisition programs (except strategic weapons and lift programs, special operations and information technology accounts). It is also responsible for all Navy and Marine corps aviation programs, National Guard and Army and Air Force reserve modernization, and ammunition programs.
The Subcommittee on Projection Forces oversees the Navy and Marine Corps programs, deep strike bombers and related systems and strategic lift programs, including the United States Air Force.
"These subcommittees deal with an array of issues pertinent to my home district, such as the Air Force, National Guard and Reserves and Navy and Marine Corps Aviation." said Rep. Calvert.
The 109th session of Congress will be Calvert's third term on the Armed Services Committee. He is also expecting to serve on the Science and Resources Committees. Memberships on their respective subcommittees are expected to be finalized later this week.
