Today, U.S. Representative Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-06) was reappointed by Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries to serve on the influential House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for the 119th Congress. The Intelligence Committee is charged with providing oversight of the nation’s intelligence activities, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), National Security Agency (NSA), as well as the military intelligence programs. “I am honored to be reappointed by Leader Jeffries to serve on the House Intelligence Committee, which plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and national security of the United States,” said Representative Bera. “As we face heightened instability and newfound challenges both at home and abroad, the work of this Committee is more important than ever. I take seriously the responsibility entrusted to me to protect and defend American families, while ensuring the Intelligence Community remains objective and independent. With more than a decade of experience working on critical national security issues, I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure our intelligence agencies operate effectively and with integrity to safeguard our great nation.” Rep. Bera was first appointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in the 118th Congress, where he served on the National Intelligence Enterprise Subcommittee and the National Security Agency and Cyber Subcommittee. Rep. Bera was also elected this week to serve as Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on East Asia and Pacific for the 119th Congress. |
