RE: Overview of how Congressional Progressive Caucus Members would be empowered if party control of the U.S. House of Representatives changes as a result of the November 2006 elections
* At least 10 Congressional Progressive Caucus Members would become Committee Chairmen or Chairwomen
* An additional 35 Congressional Progressive Caucus Members would become Subcommittee Chairmen or Chairwomen.
