On the Hill
March 22, 2002 - The Senate March 15 confirmed the
nomination of Sally Stroup as Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary
Education at the Department of Education. Ms. Stroup is best
known for her tenure as the top aide to former House Committee
on Education and the Workforce Chairman William Goodling (R-Pa.)
from 1995 to 2001.
Rep. Ernie Fletcher (R-Ky.) was named March 14 to the House
Committee on Energy and Commerce, taking the seat vacated
by Steve Largent (R-Okla.), who retired in February. Dr. Fletcher,
a family practitioner, is one of eight physicians in the House
of Representatives. Because the Energy and Commerce Committee
is considered an "exclusive" committee, Dr. Fletcher
is required to give up his seats on the Agriculture, Budget
and Education and the Workforce committees.
