Congress: REBECCA DAVIES

REBECCA DAVIES

Majority Staff Director, Homeland Security

Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations

Committee

202-224-73(53

Rebecca Davies is praised as "tough, but fair" by House Republicans who negotiate across the table with her. Republicans say that as an experienced

appropriations staff member, she knows when to cut a deal, but has tremendous loyalty to Senate Homeland security Subcommittee Chairman Thad Cochran, R-Miss. "She's a consummate pro," said one GOP House source.

Both the House and Senate Appropriations committees added homeland-security subcommittees last year, so Cochran and Uavies had to cobble together a staff and produce an appropriations bill quickly. Like its House counterpart, the Senate subcommittee held a series of oversight hearings. With full-committee member Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., serving as the ranking member on the subcommittee, Bush administration officials were subjected to grilling when they testified before the subcommittee.
