Statement of General Wesley K. Clark (ret)
On the Appointment of Silvestre Reyes to the Chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee

December 1, 2006. Little Rock, AR.

“Silvestre Reyes is well regarded by the military and known for asking the right questions and for his follow through. He is a well respected public servant who has for years taken a deep abiding interest in matters of national security. I know him too as a man with high standards of integrity and a great patriot.

"The American people should see this selection as proof positive that Speaker Pelosi and House leadership take seriously their pledge to put our national security at the top of the national agenda.”
