As Rep. Gabrielle Giffords continues to show progress, her Democratic Party leader in Congress is preparing to welcome back the Arizona lawmaker with a new committee assignment.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said during a CNN interview that she will appoint Giffords to the Board of Visitors at the U.S. Military Academy.

In CNN's interview with Pelosi, which aired Tuesday, she talked a little about seeing Giffords at University Medical Center in Tucson last week when Giffords opened her eyes for the first time since the shooting.

"She looked like an angel," Pelosi said. "She's so strong -- a strong angel."
