Rep. Sam Graves (R-Missouri) received a waiver from the Republican Steering Committee to enable his return as chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. Graves had bumped up against Republican term limits on committee leadership roles but he asked for the waiver, noting that most of his time at the helm was as a ranking minority member rather than in the chair position.

He is returning to the post as the committee faces its next major bill, surface transportation reauthorization, having just completed the comprehensive five-year FAA reauthorization package this past year.
