Executive Summary
HOUSE OVERSIGHT SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIR CANDIDATES INCLUDE REP. COX (R-Calif.) as a possible successor to Texas Republican Joe Barton. Assuming the GOP retains control of the House in 1999, Barton is expected to move to the chairmanship of the Energy & Power Subcommittee, which is of greater interest to his home state constituency, following the retirement of Rep. Dan Schaefer (R-Colo.) at the end of the 105th Congress.
