North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr has been named the ranking Republican on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee – “temporarily” replacing Idaho Sen. Larry Craig in that post. Burr served five terms in the House before he was elected to the Senate in 2004. “I appreciate the confidence my Senate colleagues have expressed in me today,” Burr said.
