Washington, DC,
February 12, 2019
“These Subcommittee assignments are an important opportunity to craft and develop thoughtful policies for Florida’s economy and our national defense,” Waltz said.
Congressman Michael Waltz (R-FL), who was previously appointed to the House Armed Services and Science, Space and Technology Committees, today welcomed his appointment to subcommittees whose vast jurisdiction includes multiple Florida priorities.
For the House Armed Services Committee, Waltz will sit on the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee and the Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee. For the Committee on Science, Space and Technology, Waltz will sit on the Subcommittee on Space and the Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight.
“These Subcommittee assignments are an important opportunity to craft and develop thoughtful policies for Florida’s economy and our national defense,” Waltz said.
“The ability to support the continued growth of our commercial space industry from the Subcommittee on Space is a tremendous privilege and will be critical to ensuring these 21st Century jobs remain in Central Florida,” Waltz added. “The Subcommittee members are tasked with the delicate balance of providing certainty to a pioneering industry in need of guidance without restricting innovation.
“As a Green Beret and former national security and counterterrorism advisor in the White House and Pentagon, it’s a tremendous honor to utilize my skillset and experience on the Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities,” Waltz continued. “I’m also eager for the opportunity to dive into the policy priorities of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee where I will be working to ensure our Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force programs have everything they need to successfully complete their missions.”
