As chairman, Lynch will lead oversight efforts on national security, homeland security, foreign operations — including the relationships of the United States with other nations, immigration, defense and veterans.

“I will ensure there is proper oversight related to the use of cyberespionage against US Government entities and the private sector, and I plan to start a robust oversight on pipeline safety and security as we have witnessed an alarming number of gas explosions across the country recently.  

“We have a lot of work to do, and I am prepared to get it done.”
