If in 06 we get the majority of the seats in the House by one seat, do we automatically gain the majority in the committees too?

3. Don't know for sure
I think the leadership of each party assigns the members. Or are you talking about who creates the actual committees? I think they are voted on or created with a bi-partisan effort.

You'll have to scroll down about 2/3 of the way to get to the section on committees.
