House labor panel announces changes
Rep. George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, announced Richard Miller would occupy the senior labor policy advisor position vacated after Jordan Barab took over as acting OSHA administrator.
Richard Miller previously served as an investigator on the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, a senior policy analyst at the Government Accountability Project and a policy analyst for the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union.
In another action, the House Republican leadership elevated Rep. John Kline (R-MN) to the committee's new ranking member, replacing Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), who recently left the committee to serve as the ranking Republican for the House Armed Services Committee.
