House Democrats announced that they had returned all of their leaders to office by acclamation. Rep. Foley will return as speaker of the House as will Rep. Gephardt as majority leader and Rep. Gray as majority whip. Rep. Hoyer will remain chairman of the Democratic caucus. After much debate, Democratic leaders agreed last week to give Vermont’s newly elected House member Bernard Sanders a seat on some committee of his choice, but to not give him membership in the Democratic caucus. Rep. Sanders is a socialist who was elected as an independent. close
