Lankford Elected to Leadership Post in Congress

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- U.S. Rep. James Lankford if Edmond has been elected to a leadership post for the upcoming session of Congress.
The Republican who was just re-elected to a second term in the U.S. House was elected Wednesday as chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee for the 113th Congress.
The committee is used for Republican House members to develop policies and legislative proposals.
Lankford won re-election earlier this month with nearly 60 percent of the vote over Democrat Tom Guild and two independents.

He replaces U.S. Rep. Tom Price of Georgia on the committee after Price did not see re-election to the post.

KINGFISHER, Okla. (AP) -- Authorities continue to search for a Kingfisher teenager who disappeared after jumping into Uncle John Creek.

Police say 17-year-old Taylor Faine jumped into the creek Thursday and did not resurface. Kingfisher Fire Chief Randy Poindexter told The Oklahoman (http://bit.ly/10s2oB6 ) on Saturday that manmade dams have been built in hopes of finding Faine's body.

Authorities say Faine was swimming with friends in an area where no swimming signs are in place because of dangerous currents in the creek.
