"Climate: Pallone On Select Committee: 'I Don't Think It's Necessary'"

"Rep. Frank Pallone does not like the idea of bringing back the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.

The New Jersey Democrat, who is poised to lead the Energy and Commerce Committee in the next Congress, yesterday called the proposed revival of the select panel unnecessary.

"I just think right now we have great people who want to take action on climate change who would be chairing the committees of jurisdiction. We got a lot of people on the committees that are real champions, so I don't think it's necessary," Pallone told reporters last night in his first remarks on the proposal that has emerged as a priority for Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who also aspires to be House speaker next session."
