Dan Friedman and Richard Cohen of National Journal's CongressDaily report. Implications here could be big, especially on the matter of climate change.

Dingell chaired the Energy and Commerce Committee from 1980-1994, and regained the chairmanship when the Democrats took back a majority of the House two years ago.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=41354&dcn=todaysnews"><P>Aides and lobbyists said Waxman appears to face an uphill fight against the powerful Dingell but would be unlikely to act without at least tacit approval from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., a fellow Californian with whom Waxman is close. Waxman said Pelosi is aware of his bid but declined say to whether she supports it. "I think I have a good chance of winning," Waxman said.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1701B446-9E45-49EC-8811-5D971E9727E7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
