US Senator Mark Pryor has lost his seat on
the Armed Services Committee.
Democrats in the Senate have lost a batch of committee seats as
a result of the November general election, and Pryor was among the
casualties.
Pryor, who is serving his first term, used his Armed Services
seat to work on bills affecting the Pine Bluff Arsenal, the 188th
Fighter Wing in Fort Smith and other Arkansas military
installations. But he does pick up a desirable seat on the
Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. The Commerce panel
handles about 60 percent of the Senate`s legislation and is
considered an attractive post.
