He was a member of several influential committees during his Senate career including Appropriations, Budget, and Interior and Insular Affairs, later re-named Energy and Natural Resources, of which he was Chairman for eight years beginning in 1987. He also served on the Small Business Committee, the Special Committee on Aging, and the Select Committee on Intelligence.
