Rep. Young Announces Key Resources Subcommittee Assignments

Alaskan Congressman Don Young is pleased to announce his Committee on Natural Resources assignments for the 111th Congress. 

Rep. Young will sit on:

The Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands

The Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife

The Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources

“In representing the State of Alaska, I could not have asked for better assignments,” said Rep. Young.   “I have sat on the Resources Committee, through all of its different titles, since I entered the U.S. Congress.  Alaska is saturated with natural resources and I am proud to serve the state on this Committee.  These subcommittees are of the utmost importance to my mission of utilizing Alaska’s resources in the most responsible ways possible.  I requested each of these subcommittees and am appreciative that my experience and leadership on these issues, as well as my ability to work across party lines, were recognized.  I look forward to working with our new Ranking Member, Doc Hastings, and my good friend Chairman Rahall on all of the incredibly important issues brought before this committee and to a successful 111th Congress.”
