Henry Waxman (D-Calif), left, Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee has reorganized the committee by combining the Environment and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee with the Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee into a single new subcommittee called the Energy and Environment Subcommittee. This new subcommittee will be chaired by Ed Markey (D-Mass), right, and he will retain the chairmanship of the Select Committee for Energy Independence and Global Warming. The Waxman-Markey partnership will be a formidable team for environmental protection, energy security and climate change mitigation.

The Environment and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee had been chaired by Al Wynn (D-MD) until he lost his seat and he was succeeded by Gene Green (D-TX). Rick Boucher (D-Va.) was chair of the Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee befoe the change.
