Provided, however, that the committee chairmen for the House of Representatives Legislative Ethics Committee and the Committee on Operations and Management of the House of Representatives shall be elected by the several members of those committees. The committees may at their discretion elect a Vice-Chairman and such other officers as they may choose."
