WASHINGTON — Sen. Dianne Feinstein, as expected, will become chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee when the new Congress meets Jan. 6, Majority Leader Harry Reid confirmed Monday.
Feinstein, a California Democrat, becomes the first woman to chair the committee in its 32-year history. Sen. John Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said last month he planned to give up the intelligence post to become chairman of the Commerce Committee.
Feinstein said in a statement Monday that her priorities would include "working with the Obama administration to end the practice of coercive interrogations and creating a uniform standard for interrogations throughout the U.S. government, granting the Red Cross access to detainees and closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility within one year."
