Mr. Lukiwski, not their membership; members can get pulled from the committee at any time by the whips.
In this situation other members of committee could still be pulled by the whips. The chair, and if we were to add the vice-chair, instead of being responsible to the whips, would be responsible to the committee as a whole.
We're not changing what the committee has. Even for removal of the chair, or if we were to add the vice-chair, under my suggestion the committee would have to move the motion and pass it beforehand. If the committee members refuse to make the change, the House would have no ability. This is not removing the committee's authority. This is a change of the whips' authority relative to that of the entire House.
