House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes issued the following statement today after Rep. Will Hurd (TX-23) was appointed to the committee:

“I’d like to give a warm welcome to Congressman Hurd, who is joining the House Intelligence Committee. With his years-long experience as a CIA officer, he has immense first-hand knowledge of the Intelligence Community, and I expect he will play a critical role in the committee’s oversight activities.”
