House Energy & Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee Roster
The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development is responsible for writing an appropriations bill that funds, among other areas, the physics-related programs within the Department of Energy. These include Basic Energy Sciences, Fusion Energy Sciences, High Energy Physics, and Nuclear Physics. (While the energy appropriations bill funds most of DOE, the Interior Department appropriations bill funds such DOE programs as fossil fuels, clean coal, and alternative fuels production.) Below is the roster for this subcommittee for the 105th session of Congress. (Full Committee Chair Robert Livingston, R-LA, and Ranking Democrat David Obey, D-WI, are also authorized to serve on all appropriations subcommittees.) Included with each subcommittee member’s name is a web site, if available, and a list of the higher education institutions in his or her district. Information on rosters and university/college listings comes from the Congressional Quarterly’s Washington Alert.
