“I was honored when Ranking Member Thompson asked if I would serve as Ranking Member of the Oversight Subcommittee and appreciative that he recognized my passion for the matters governed by the Homeland Security Committee,” said Rep. Keating.  “I relish the opportunity to delve deeper into the many issues plaguing our national security and believe this position is a natural transition from my background as a prosecutor.  In fact, the Oversight Subcommittee is the perfect vehicle to continue my call for an investigation into our airports’ perimeter security, among other issues.  I look forward to working with Ranking Member Thompson, Chairman King and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman McCaul to ensure that every American remains safe from those that wish to harm our way of life.”
