| Mr. Boehner selected Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, who is Congress's chief tax-writer; Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, who is chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee; and Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, who is chairman of the House Republican Conference. Also Wednesday, Senate Republicans named their three members: Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, and freshman Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio and Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania, who both have long records of service in the House and, in Mr. Portman's case, as President George W. Bush's budget director. |
