Inhofe Named To Senate Foreign Relations Panel

Senator Jim Inhofe has been appointed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to fill the Republican vacancy left by former Senator Norm Coleman (R-Minn.).

Inhofe will become the ranking member on the East Asian and Pacific Affairs subcommittee, which deals with strategically important countries for the United States’ national security such as China, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, and others.

The appointment gives Inhofe an even stronger voice in America's foreign affairs.

Currently the Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Foreign Relations becomes Inhofe’s third committee.
