WASHINGTON− Today, House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers announced Appropriations Subcommittee assignments for the second session of the 113th Congress. Representative Fleischmann retained all three of his subcommittees including his important role on the Energy and Water Subcommittee.

“I take my role as an appropriator very seriously and am thrilled to continue my membership on the Homeland Security, Labor Health and Human Services, and Energy and Water Subcommittees. We made great progress over the past year and I look forward to continuing my fight for responsible spending levels. As Tennessee’s sole House Appropriator, I will continue to keep the needs of the state in mind throughout all of my work on the committee.”

In announcing the Subcommittee assignments, Chairman Rogers praised Fleischmann saying, “Chuck has been an invaluable member of our Appropriations team. He is constantly fighting for the people of his district and the state of Tennessee.
