IKE SKELTON, D-MO.
Skelton is more conservative than Democratic would-be chairmen of other committees. Although he voted in 2002 to authorize war against Iraq, he says, “the war has dangerously overstretched our military” and he’s alarmed about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “Iran has used our preoccupation in Iraq to its advantage,” he said.";

Elected in 1955, and the longest serving member of the House, Dingell is famous for his intimidating investigations when he served as chairman before the Democrats lost their majority. The oil companies will be in his sights, but as a leading auto industry ally, he opposes more stringent fuel economy standards.";

SILVESTRE REYES, D-Tex.
First elected in 1996, the Border Patrol agent-turned-congressman, served in the Army during 1966-68 as a helicopter crew chief and gunner – including 13 months in Vietnam. He rose through the ranks to senior law enforcement official during 26 years of service in the Border Patrol. His committee is expected to increase public oversight of terrorism, Iraq and government surveillance.

JOHN CONYERS, D-Mich.
The veteran of the 1974 Nixon impeachment effort wants the House to create a special committee to investigate “manipulation” of pre-Iraq war intelligence to seek evidence which “may constitute grounds for possible impeachment” of President Bush. But House Democratic Leader Pelosi told Meet the Press on May 7, “Democrats are not about impeachment.”";
