Gary Novosielski Report post Posted October 31 I was gazing at C-SPAN this morning and ran across the term Permanent Select Committee. Isn't this an oxymoron, equivalent to Standing Special Committee? Yes, I know it's not RONR, but I thought someone might know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake Savory Report post Posted October 31 Blame Jim Wright. IIRC it is because the PSC does not have the legislative power that a standing committee has. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob Elsman Report post Posted November 1 This committee is a "select committee" organized under U.S. House Rule X, clauses 10 and 11. It is the only committee in the House designated as a "permanent select" committee to emphasize its ongoing responsibilities in contrast to "select" committees. It is specifically named and has a listed jurisdiction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
