The '''U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources''' or '''Natural Resources Committee''' (often referred to as simply '''Resources''') is a [[U.S. Congressional committee|Congressional committee]] of the [[United States House of Representatives]]. Originally called the '''Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs''' (1951), the name was changed to the '''Committee on Natural Resources''' in 1991. The name was shortened to the '''Committee on Resources''' in 1995 by the new Chairmanchairman, [[Don Young]] (at the same time, the committee took over the duties of the [[List of defunct United States congressional committees|now-defunct]] Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee). Following the Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives in 2006, the name of the committee was changed back to its title used between 1991 and 1995.<ref name=rahall/>
