January 13, 2017 Press Release
Washington, DC – Rep. Trey Gowdy (SC-04) released the following statement after being appointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence:

“Protecting the safety and security of our fellow citizens is the preeminent function of government. When it comes to our national security, we cannot afford to take risks. The House Intelligence Committee plays a vital role in protecting Americans both at home and abroad through conducting thorough oversight of our nation’s intelligence agencies. I look forward to joining the House Intelligence Committee and working with Chairman Nunes and my colleagues to ensure national security remains the top priority in the 115th Congress.”

Background –
This is the first time a member from South Carolina has ever been named to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
As the former Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi, Rep. Gowdy brings to the House Intelligence Committee experience in working directly with our nation’s intelligence agencies, including but not limited to, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Department of Defense (DOD), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

Hasn’t been reported here yet by the S’burg rag; didn’t see it on 7 News but I don’t watch much.

Gaffer is right, though: Trey Gowdy definitely needs better PR service, at least here on FR — Sarah Palin country, according to the site operator.
