Thompson Appointed to Subcommittee on
Energy and Mineral Resources

Washington, D.C.—U.S. Representative Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson today learned he has been appointed to the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources of the House Natural Resources Committee. This appointment follows Thompson’s recent appointment to the full House Natural Resources Committee and reappointment to the full House Agriculture and Education & Labor Committees.

“This assignment is a huge win for the people of Pennsylvania’s 5th District,” said Thompson. “On the Energy & Minerals Subcommittee, I will have the opportunity to represent the local economies of rural Pennsylvania that have benefited greatly from the Marcellus Natural Gas Play and other resources located in the 5th District and nationwide. I look forward to advancing responsible resource management and development policies for the betterment of the country,” added Thompson.

The House Natural Resource Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources has specific jurisdiction over our nation’s energy production and mining on federal lands, both onshore and offshore. The full House Natural Resources Committee has jurisdiction over our nation’s mining interests, mineral resources on public lands, forest reserves and national parks created from the public domain and other public lands in general.
