(Reuters) – Republicans named their six members to a congressional
deficit-reduction super committee on Wednesday, setting the stage for an attempt
to create bipartisan agreement on taxes and government spending.
Senators Jon Kyl, Rob Portman and Patrick Toomey were selected by Senate
Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.
House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican in
Congress, named Representatives Dave Camp, Jeb Hensarling and Fred Upton to the
committee.
The panel is known as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction and was
established to find $1.5 trillion in additional budget saving over 10 years.
