Speaker
Nancy Pelosi has picked liberal firebrand Rep. Pete Stark to replace
ousted Chairman Charles Rangel on the tax-writing committee, according
to a House leadership aide.
The decision was made during a
Wednesday morning leadership meeting following Rangel's announcement
that he would temporarily step aside as chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, the aide said.
