Fox says:

"In the end, the sides compromised on the division of committee funds, office space and committee assignments.

The deal gives the GOP a one-seat majority on all committees except the Intelligence and Ethics committees, which traditionally have an even number of members from both parties.

It also gives the majority a roughly 60-40 advantage when it comes to staff, money and space, more than the two-thirds to one-third ratio that Republicans had wanted but less than the 51-49 percent split reflecting the majority-minority ratio. Democrats had threatened to filibuster anything less than that."

Okay, I was rather concerned earlier, but it sounds like we stuck with 60-40. It seems Fox is the only network that is able to just lay it out simply without all the BS the other articles had to insert to make the whole thing confusing.
