Today, Congressman Ben Cline (VA-06) was appointed by Speaker Mike Johnson to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). 

“I am honored to be appointed to the House Intelligence Committee,” said Rep. Ben Cline. “Our world has become an increasingly dangerous place over the last four years, and I look forward to working alongside my colleagues to strengthen our national security and helping to keep the American people safe against ongoing and emerging threats. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I also hope to bring a fresh perspective that ensures the Constitution, and in turn, the rights of the American people are vigorously defended within our intelligence community.”

Created in 1977, HPSCI is charged with oversight of the United States Intelligence Community—which includes the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the following eighteen elements of the U.S. Government—and the Military Intelligence Program.

Congressman Cline will continue to serve on the House Committee on Appropriations, the House Committee on Judiciary, and the House Committee on the Budget. 

Congressman Ben Cline represents the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia. He previously was an attorney in private practice and served both as an assistant prosecutor and as a Member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Cline and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Botetourt County with their two children.
