WASHINGTON - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) was appointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence today. In his new role, he will be involved in the nation's approach to a wide variety of threats to national security. In response, he made the following statement:
"I am keenly aware of how important intelligence is during a time of wars in Gaza and Ukraine and ongoing cyber and other threats from Russia, China and around the world. I appreciate Leader Jeffries' confidence in placing me on this very important committee."
Congressman Cohen, a senior member of the Judiciary Committee and the Ranking Member of the Helsinki Commission, is the first member of the Intelligence Committee from Memphis. Intelligence Committee appointments are unusual in that the Minority Leader, in this case, makes the decision exclusive of any caucus recommendations.
